Description

About Silvur

Our mission: to support the 99% of members who retire.

Silvur ensures that ALL credit union members have a plan for retirement, not just the 2-3% currently served by wealth management. Silvur’s platform engages and supports members over age 50 with a focus on helping members navigate critical retirement decisions including Medicare and Social Security. Members over age 50 are credit union’s largest deposit holders, holding over 80% of US household wealth and the first generation to retire without the benefit of a pension. Silvur makes it easy for credit unions to help them. Our data platform powers insights and offers to capture the $70T retirement wallet. Our new insurance subsidiary offers Medicare insurance and more to our partner credit unions and their members. 

Silvur has been named by Forbes to the 2020 Fintech 50 Most Innovative Companies and has been featured in the NY Times, Forbes, Fortune, CNBC, and Yahoo Finance. We’ve won many credit union industry awards including VentureTech, America’s Credit Union Tech, Ops and Member Best in Show and runner up for NACUSO Big Idea. We’ve received grants from the Financial Health Network and are part of the 2025 Lab* at Filene.

Silvur is at an exciting inflection point. We are experiencing rapid adoption of our platform by leading credit unions and we are looking to expand the footprint of credit unions we serve.  

Silvur is backed by leading VCs like Anthemis and strategic investors including Curql, Reseda Group, Idaho Central Credit Union, MAPs, WESECU, and Mission Federal Credit Union.
