Torque
Torque is a global technology company that primarily develops a non-custodial digital wallet. It brings balances, execution and settlement into one interface for individuals and businesses, with the goal of making financial actions faster, smarter and unified in one place.1
History
Torque positions itself as infrastructure for onchain finance: aggregating balances, yield and credit into one product surface for individuals, businesses and developers integrating via API.
Founders
Cameron Conrad is the founder and chief executive officer of Torque. Based in Newport Beach, California, Conrad founded Torque in 2023 as a global technology company that primarily develops a non-custodial digital wallet. The product brings balances, execution and settlement into one interface for individuals and businesses, with the goal of making financial actions faster, smarter and unified in one place while users retain custody.
Before Torque, Conrad built and scaled eCommerce businesses beginning in 2016, including consumer brands and dropship.co, a product sourcing marketplace that enabled automated order fulfillment, after teaching himself full-stack web development. That operator background informs Torque's focus on automation, routing and a unified interface for individuals, businesses and developers integrating via API. Conrad leads Torque alongside an executive team spanning operations, engineering and ecosystem partnerships. Torque states it is not a bank and balances are not FDIC-insured.
Positioning
Torque positions itself as a non-custodial Money OS rather than a deposit-taking neobank: users keep custody while accessing trade, transfer, lend and borrow flows from one balance. It targets individuals, businesses and developers via API, and explicitly states it is not a bank and balances are not FDIC-insured.
Products
- Wallet - A non-custodial digital wallet (passkeys and smart accounts) that unifies balances, execution and settlement across Bitcoin, EVM and Solana.
