Joust Unveils Its New Banking Platform for Freelancers

Joust, a US based fintech has rolled out a new banking platform exclusively for freelancers to fulfill their banking needs. The banking platform is insured by FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation). The announcement was made public on Tuesday.

The new development will definitely make things seamless for the freelancers.
