Frank (company)

Frank was an American website that assisted students in filling out their FAFSA federal student aid applications. Incorporated as TAPD Inc., Frank was launched in 2016 by 24-year-old Charlie Javice, who claimed to help students complete more than a hundred questions within a few minutes.

Frank was acquired by JPMorgan Chase in September 2021 for $175 million. In December 2022, JPMorgan Chase sued Javice and Frank's chief growth and acquisition officer, Olivier Amar, for fraud, alleging that Javice and Amar claimed the company had about fourteen times more customers than it had. The Frank website was shut down shortly after in January 2023. In April 2023, Javice and Amar were charged in Manhattan federal court with a four-count grand jury indictment for securities fraud, wire fraud, bank fraud, and conspiracy. In March 2025, both were found guilty on all counts.
