What is Spade?

Spade is building the next generation of fintech infrastructure by providing real-time merchant intelligence for the card ecosystem. We leverage a proprietary, ground-truth database to link any card transaction to a real merchant identity - providing granular merchant, category, and geolocation information. Our API leads the market in terms of merchant coverage, data accuracy, and speed of transaction enrichment.

We're a fast growing, Series A company backed by industry experts and top tier investors (including a16z, Flourish Ventures, Y-Combinator, and Gradient Ventures). Our customers, including Stripe, Corpay, Mercury, and Unit, are industry leaders processing >$100B in card payments volume annually. They use our data to make better authorization decisions, detect and prevent fraud, build better banking infrastructure, and get a unique understanding of their users' spending habits.

We're a small and mighty hybrid team, passionate about building exceptional products for our growing customer base. We care deeply about diversity of opinion, background, and experience. We value empathy, curiosity, and passion, and strive to create an environment where individuals have autonomy and the ability to take ownership over their work.
