Salary benchmarks
Our take
Unexpected expenses are inevitable. However, there are limited and unfavourable options when it comes to managing these expenses: overdrafts are confusing, credit cards are risky, and payday loans are expensive. Creditspring aims to solve this problem by creating financial services that can help people manage their unexpected expenses.
Creditspring differentiates itself by not charging interest on its loans: clients only pay a fixed membership fee in addition to what they borrow. What's more, Creditspring sets out to improve the financial stability of its clients by offering budgeting tips, ways to improve their credit score and a personalised score that is updated every month- allowing them to monitor their improvement.
