Our take

Figure handles loans and mortgaging. They are disrupting manual compensation surveys and traditional industry software with their blockchain platform, Provenance, which works as a registry, ledger, and exchange.

The company has branched from offering student loans into many products such as mortgages, personal loans, blockchain-based private credit and private investment opportunities. In 2020, they started seeking a national bank charter to simplify their business and offer better security.

The company is focusing on building blockchain-backed solutions and now offers its customers the option to leverage their cryptocurrency assets to get loans or mortgages and is one of the only companies to do so. Figure is betting heavily on the success of the $1 trillion cryptocurrency market and blockchain industry, and laid off 20% of its staff in July 2023 in preparation for an IPO bid. This IPO is targeted specifically at Figure's lending division, which saw massive growth over 2022 and 2023.
