Participated · Equity · Mar 2024
Founded in 2018 and headquartered in New York, Argyle provides an API-driven platform that connects directly to payroll systems to deliver real-time, consumer-permissioned data. Its technology lets customers generate GSE-compliant reports—including verification of income (VOI), employment (VOE), assets (VOA), and combined VOAI—through a single interface. Leveraging Mastercard’s open finance capabilities, the platform now reaches payroll data covering 90% of the U.S. workforce. Clients such as Checkr, Regional Finance, and Mutual of Omaha report slashing verification timelines from days to seconds and cutting costs by up to 90%, with Mutual of Omaha saving more than $50,000 per month. Argyle continues to deepen its product by integrating additional open-finance functionality and expanding partnerships that automate verifications across financial services. Prior to the latest raise, the company secured a $30 million Series C round led by Rockefeller Asset Management’s Fintech Innovation Fund.
