Engine by MoneyLion set out to build a fintech marketplace across multiple products. After meeting more than 80 development agencies, it chose Kodius as its long-term product team — a partnership running since 2019 that grew revenue threefold and led to a $440M acquisition by MoneyLion.
Fiona helps people search, compare and get recommended for personal loans, credit cards and other financial products — the consumer-facing marketplace behind Engine by MoneyLion's embedded-finance platform.
Engine by MoneyLion is a B2B fintech company based in New York, led by veterans of the finance, advertising and software-development industries — transforming how people search, compare and get recommended for financial products.
Today it's a leading search engine for financial services, powering high-quality embedded finance marketplaces across publishing, financial services and other marketing sectors.

What made the difference:

The leading suite of tools for managing the financial marketplace — real-time analytics, reporting, offer enablement and customisation wizards.
A new design system brought order to a large user base and many flows — shaped alongside Engine’s own team of designers.
Birch is the #1 finance app that simplifies credit-card rewards and helps users keep track of spending.
Birch grew into a powerful tool that:
Engine by MoneyLion became a leading search engine for financial services, growing into a deal worth up to $440 million with MoneyLion.
