Allison Fintech Co.

Allison Fintech Co. is a financial technology company founded in September 2021 by Brian Alvarez-Bailey in Tampa, Florida. The company seeks to connect community banks to other fintech startups to help them launch new products. The company was named in honor of journalist Alice Allison Dunnigan.

The startup was a regional winner in the Black Founders Demo Day pitch competition, and has been supported by Tampa's Embarc Collective.

After winning investment capital from the Alabama Futures Fund in 2023 the company agreed to relocate its US headquarters offices to Birmingham, although Alvarez-Bailey's three employees remained at the company's existing office in Tampa's University Mall.
