flag New Zealand fintech Wedge, managing $100M for 2,000 users, offers higher savings returns with no fees or minimums, backed by an AA rating.

flag New Zealand fintech Wedge, founded by Dave and Andy McLeish and others, has grown to manage $100 million in customer funds with nearly 2,000 users within six months. flag It offers higher savings returns than traditional banks by investing in low-risk global assets, backed by an AA credit rating, guaranteeing advertised rates with daily interest payments and no penalties or minimum balances. flag The company estimates potential annual savings of up to $6 billion for New Zealanders if current bank savings shifted to its platform, already saving customers about $2 million yearly. flag Despite a nearly six-month regulatory delay due to its hybrid model, founders self-funded the venture to retain control and are expanding into notice savers, term deposits, and business accounts.
