SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Astra, a leading infrastructure provider for faster payments, today announced a strategic partnership with Till Financial, a leader in collaborative family banking, to enhance Till's mission of empowering kids and teens to become smarter spenders with seamless financial solutions designed for families.
Till Financial has rapidly gained prominence for its unique approach to helping families prepare kids for the reality of money management.

Till and Astra's combined efforts are set to disrupt the fintech sector by addressing a critical need in family banking. As more Macro and regional banks start to think through how they might better support their depositors, Till's commitment to partnering with families when they need it most sets them apart. And as more families recognize the benefits of collaborative financial management, this partnership will play a pivotal role in driving innovation and enhancing the overall user experience.
