Rebrands from Lendsmart to ATTUNE to Reflect Expanded Product Offering
NEW YORK, Jan. 25, 2024 — ATTUNE, formerly known as Lendsmart, today announced the successful closure of its seed funding round, raising $2,225,000. This milestone marks the company’s evolution from a primarily lending-oriented organization to an all-encompassing Engagement Banking Platform, enabling financial institutions to digitize their service lines and intelligently engage with customers at key moments.
The seed round was led by Tribeca Early Stage Partners, with significant contributions from CastleCreek Launchpad, ICBA, and Mike Roffler. The new funding will accelerate ATTUNE’s growth, allowing the company to expand its team across sales, marketing, and technology.
Founder & CEO of ATTUNE, AK Patel, shared his vision, “ATTUNE is poised to redefine Engagement Banking by streamlining digital interactions and personalizing customer experiences for banks and credit unions of all sizes. Our platform is not just a tool; it acts as a bridge for banks and credit unions to better connect with their customers, driving growth and efficiency in today’s competitive market.
