Bankcura Team

Meet the Team Behind Bankcura
Bankcura is built by people who care deeply about helping others take control of their financial lives, without judgment, jargon, or pressure.
We come from different backgrounds, but we share one belief:
better tools and clearer information can change lives.

Zoe Martinez – Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
Zoe founded Bankcura after seeing how many people struggle financially, not because they’re careless, but because they lack access to the right tools and knowledge.
She grew up in a working family and believes no one should be held back simply because they weren’t taught how financial systems work. Her focus is on building products that help people improve their finances in ways that ripple outward, to families, friends, and communities. Zoe holds a B.S. in Business Administration from the University of California, Berkeley – Haas School of Business.
Outside of Bankcura, she’s improving her photography skills, wishes she could have a raccoon as a pet, and is always experimenting with the perfect tater tot casserole recipe.

Michael Smith – Chief Technology Officer (CTO)
Michael likes to joke that he’s an IT dinosaur, and that he’d happily still be using Windows 98.
Behind the humor is a deep respect for technology that works quietly, clearly, and reliably. At Bankcura, Michael focuses on building systems that are easy to understand, respectful of user data, and genuinely useful, not overcomplicated for the sake of it.
When he’s not building tools for Bankcura, Michael enjoys building custom PCs, spending time with his dog, and hunting down the best taco in town.

Liam Walker – Chief Marketing Officer (CMO)
Liam leads Bankcura’s brand, messaging, and growth strategy.
He’s focused on making financial tools feel human and approachable, so people feel supported instead of overwhelmed. Liam believes trust, clarity, and honesty are what make a brand last, especially in financial services.
Outside of work, Liam enjoys classic sushi and firmly believes sushi burritos are overrated.
