A new bank for a new India

slice’s purpose is to make the world better at using money and time, with a major focus on building the best consumer experience for your money. We’ve all felt how slow, confusing, and complicated banking can be. So, we’re reimagining it. We’re building every product from scratch to be fast, transparent, and feel good, because we believe that the best products transcend demographics, like how great music touches most of us.

Our cornerstone products and services: slice savings account, slice UPI credit card, slice UPI, and slice business are designed to be simple, rewarding, and completely in your control. At slice, you’ll get to build things you’d use yourself and shape the future of banking in India. We tailor our working experience with the belief that the present moment is the only real thing in life. And we have harmony in the present the most when we feel happy and successful together.

We’re backed by some of the world’s leading investors, including Tiger Global, Insight Partners, Advent International, Blume Ventures, and Gunosy Capital.
