Step is founded by a team with 50+ years of combined financial technology experience. Our mission is to create a bank that gives you the tools to become smarter with your money and reward you along your financial journey. Step gives you a free bank account with no monthly or hidden fees. Track your balance and see your transactions from the Step mobile app. You can also send and receive money instantly on your phone, shop with a personalized spending card and earn rewards for inviting your friends to Step.
