How RapidFi Launched a Healthcare Lending Platform in Under 60 Days — And Plans to Help Millions of Americans Access Urgent Medical Care
July 22, 2025 — Dallas, TX & Irvine, CA
When Vivek Kumar founded RapidFi, his vision was clear: make healthcare financing accessible to millions of Americans struggling with high insurance deductibles. For too many families, unexpected medical expenses mean hard choices — often delaying care or falling into debt. RapidFi set out to change that with a mission-driven lending platform focused on easing the financial barriers to urgent medical treatment.
But bringing a fintech lending product to market is no easy feat. Most startups face steep challenges — navigating compliance, managing underwriting risk, building integrations for identity verification, and ensuring data security. For RapidFi, speed was essential. They needed to launch, iterate, and prove their model in months — not years.
That’s where LendAPI came in.

Book Review: “Banking as a Service” by Jason Mikula
My name is Timothy Li, CEO of LendAPI. I’ve been in the banking industry for almost two decades. Come to think of it, it’s scary how fast this industry has evolved—from branch-based banking to today’s fully digital banking.
I’ve worked at JPMorgan Chase, loanDepot, and Realty Mogul and have consulted, advised, and invested in many banking and fintech startups. Lately, I’ve been focusing on digital onboarding and embedded finance, which led to the creation of LendAPI—born from a fusion of my personal and professional experience. I also developed a course titled FinTech Fundamentals at the Viterbi School of Engineering at my alma mater, the University of Southern California.
I love this industry, so when this book first arrived on the scene in late 2024, I jumped on it right away, pre-ordered the hardcover, and eagerly awaited its arrival.

Book Review: “Banking as a Service” by Jason Mikula
My name is Timothy Li, CEO of LendAPI. I’ve been in the banking industry for almost two decades. Come to think of it, it’s scary how fast this industry has evolved—from branch-based banking to today’s fully digital banking.
I’ve worked at JPMorgan Chase, loanDepot, and Realty Mogul and have consulted, advised, and invested in many banking and fintech startups. Lately, I’ve been focusing on digital onboarding and embedded finance, which led to the creation of LendAPI—born from a fusion of my personal and professional experience. I also developed a course titled FinTech Fundamentals at the Viterbi School of Engineering at my alma mater, the University of Southern California.
I love this industry, so when this book first arrived on the scene in late 2024, I jumped on it right away, pre-ordered the hardcover, and eagerly awaited its arrival.
