About Spring Labs:

Spring Labs is redefining how data is exchanged for the new age of data sharing, security, and consumer privacy through decentralization.

The Business Development TeamThe Business Development team is responsible for building the network of leading financial institutions that exchange data on our platform, fundamentally changing how data is exchanged in the financial services ecosystem and greatly expanding the breadth and depth of data shared, all while preserving information security and consumer privacy through the Spring Protocol technology.

With already 45+ partnerships including the largest and most innovative Fintech lenders and a number of top-30 US Banks, there is a clear product-market fit. These institutions will rely on our technology to share data within the industry, greatly improving access to identity and fraud data with unprecedented security and protection of consumer data privacy.
