Company mission

To reinvent both sides of the bill pay equation.

Our take

In the world of loans, accurate credit information is vital. Late payments can damage credit scores for years, excluding numerous consumers because lenders are deterred from offering credit even when true risk levels are low. Highline’s platform automates payments straight from customers’ paycheques, reducing missed bills and boosting credit image.

Traditional lending systems rely heavily on prior credit, making it difficult for those with a thin credit past to access services. With Highline’s API, payments go from paycheque to lender via the customer’s virtual Highline account, guaranteeing payment is on time. With lenders assured they will be paid, they can give credit to more customers, who in turn receive the benefit of building healthy credit profiles by not missing payments.

Highline has grown rapidly since its founding, raising substantial funding to expand market adoption of its product. It has already partnered with Argyle, an employment data platform, to bring payroll-linked lending and billpay nationwide, and are on the look out for more strategic partnership opportunities for the future.
