About Us.

The Story
Behind it All
It All Started
With a Simple Idea.
TeamUp started as a simple idea to solve a longstanding problem among student athletes: an easy-to-use integrated solution for student athletes with no credit scores and little financial literacy. TeamUp’s founder, Alan Akina, was inspired by his three children who all participate in college athletics, seeing firsthand how much student athletes need access to better financial education resources.
We Dug Deeper…
As the idea grew and our team of financial experts dug deeper into the challenges facing student athletics, it quickly became apparent that coaches and athletic departments were also in need of a better way to handle team funds—so we solved that problem too.
The Final Product.
With Alan’s 20 years of experience teaching personal finance nationwide and founding Inc. 500 company 101 Financial, he and our team were able to develop a comprehensive system of resources for athletic teams, including Credit Builder Cards for students, budgeting tools, credit score trackers, and financial education.
