- Flow network is a consumer engagement and retention company. The Flow platform connects credit unions with cardholders at the point of payment for interactions including rewards, offers and loyalty experiences. Flow helps credit unions operate $20–$40 in revenue per active card annually, by increasing transaction volume, improving transaction profitability, reducing fraud and adding cross-selling. Reseda Group invests in seed stage funding for fintech and the goal of helping credit unions “own the payment moment.”

Reseda Group is working with Prizeout to scale the platform, which also gives brands a new advertising channel and partners a way to engage and retain customers.

Since Reseda Group’s initial investment in 2021, Larky has achieved record revenue growth as customers use the Larky platform to increase credit card usage, market car loans, share updates on business hours, notify account holders of fraud best practices, measure customer satisfaction and more.
