Our take
Oportun is an AI-powered digital banking platform that makes financial health effortless for anyone. Following the company’s acquisition of former competitor Digit, it has expanded its services to offer a wider range of bank features – providing personal loans, credit cards, saving accounts, and an investment app.
Many struggle with the paradox of “you have to have credit to build credit”, as legacy banking systems tend to give those beginning their credit journeys a bad deal. Capitalizing on the growth in popularity of mobile banking apps, Oportun provides affordable and accessible financial services to those already using mobile banking apps.
While Oportun faces a number of strong market competitors, it has served millions of customers and facilitated billions in credit and savings - demonstrating that it is a force to be reckoned with. It has also raised considerable funding that will support its further development.
