Company mission
To make financial advice accessible to everyone.
89% employee growth in 12 months
Our take
Northstar works with employers to offer financial wellness as a benefit, pairing employees with personal financial advisers who work with them to achieve financial goals, such as paying off debt, buying a home and saving for retirement.
Customization and personalization is also at the heart of the Northstar system, ensuring that each individual employee can glean their own personal benefits from the platform.
With competition in the field including Cicil, Neon, Younited Credit, and Empruntis, Northstar's key differentiator is that it goes beyond financial wellness to redefine the employee experience, improving the relationship between the employer and employee. Its October 2022 funding is being used to expand its global reach and product line.
