Our take
An individual’s credit score greatly influences their life, affecting their ability to rent, receive loans, buy a house, and access affordable interest rates. But you have to have credit to build credit, leaving a lot of people in a catch-22 situation. Empower is a mobile-only app that makes credit more inclusive and accessible, helping customers achieve their credit health goals regardless of their credit history (or lack thereof).
Though other FinTech companies such as Mint or Personal Capital also offer impressive financial tracking for their customers, Empower’s comprehensive set of personal finance features including cash advance and automatic savings offerings make it a better choice for people who want to use a single app to manage their finances.
By empowering people to take control of their money through its range of financial services, Empower is working to break the cycle of paycheck-to-paycheck living. Backed by Blisce, Defy Ventures and Quiet Capital, the company has been significantly growing its revenue in recent years and was recognized in the 2022 Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing companies in the US.
