In this episode, I sit down with Tomás Campos, CEO and Co-Founder of Spinwheel, a fintech infrastructure company that's revolutionizing how lenders and financial platforms access consumer credit data. With over 20 years in fintech, Tomás explains how Spinwheel can authenticate users and connect to all their liability accounts—credit cards, loans, mortgages, and more—using just a phone number and date of birth, achieving 95-99% coverage across different debt types.

The conversation explores how this technology is solving critical pain points in debt consolidation lending and how their AI-powered infrastructure orchestrates multiple data sources behind the scenes. Tomás also discusses their Optimize product, which saves users an average of $150 per month by creating personalized debt management plans, and shares his vision for using technology to transform consumer debt from an anchor into a lever for achieving financial goals.
