Where it started

Origin.

Short version: a card should already know the city you're standing in. Everything else followed from that.

Built around one stubborn problem.

Travel healthcare pays in cities, not in one place. The same paycheck feels generous in one metro and thin three states over — and the tool that's supposed to help you manage it treats every city as identical.

FloatPaid exists to erase that gap. The card reads where your contract puts you and tunes itself to fit, so the person doing 13-week rotations isn't also running a spreadsheet every time the map changes.

The founder, briefly

Jian Nakamura.

FloatPaid is led by Jian Nakamura. That's most of what we'll say — the product is the point, not the biography. Jian keeps the team small, reads every note that comes into the inbox, and would rather ship a fix than a founder story.

If you want the rest, it's easier to just ask.

Move for a living, and money management shouldn't be the second job nobody's paying you for.

— Jian Nakamura, Founder
What we hold to

A short list of commitments.

Kept deliberately small, because a long one is easy to break.

i

Your money moves at your speed

Every design choice bends toward less friction between a new contract and a card that already fits it. If a feature adds steps without adding safety, it doesn't ship.

ii

Limits are suggestions, not cages

FloatPaid proposes; you decide. The card should make the safe path obvious and the override one tap away — never lock you out of your own spending.

iii

Free in beta means free

No card required to try it, no trial clock, no feature gates during the beta. When paid plans arrive, they'll be priced for a traveler's budget.

iv

Your data isn't the product

We use your assignment details to tune your card and nothing else. We don't sell your spending, and we don't build a profile to rent out. See the privacy notice.

v

Built with travelers

The roadmap comes from people on rotation, not from a boardroom guess about what nurses want. If you use the card, your note outranks the strategy deck.
