In this episode, Tomás returns to share what's changed since Spinwheel's $30 million funding round—including a strategic investment from Citi—and gives us an inside look at the Spinwheel Network Token, a piece of technology that changes how lenders can serve customers across the acquisition journey. Please note: Spinwheel is a sponsor of The Free Toaster Newsletter and Podcast.

About The Spinwheel Network Token

Spinwheel's Network Token creates a persistent, consent-based identity layer using just a phone number and date of birth. Here's what that unlocks:

Skip the funnel: Instead of starting at step one with a lender, consumers can land near the end—already seeing which credit cards they can consolidate, with balances pre-populated.
Real-time data: Lenders get live liability information including balances, due dates, minimum payments, and interest rates.
Seamless payments: Disbursements can go directly to the credit cards being paid off, not just to a consumer's bank account.

Early results show 20–30% increases in funded loans and up to 50% improvement in payoff completion rates for lenders using the token.

Why This Matters for Agentic Commerce

Tomás makes a compelling case that this infrastructure is a prerequisite for the AI-powered future of lending. When consumers start using voice assistants or smart agents to find and execute loans on their behalf, those agents will need frictionless access to verified financial data—and the ability to act on it. Spinwheel is building that layer now.
