Elevate’s Rise Brand Announces Partnership with SpringFour
FORT WORTH, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Elevate Credit, Inc. (“Elevate”), a leading tech-enabled provider of innovative and responsible online credit solutions for non-prime consumers, announced today a new partnership between its Rise brand and SpringFour, a social impact fintech company.
Under the partnership, all Rise customers will gain access to SpringFour’s database of trusted local, state and national financial wellness resources. These services are being offered at no cost and will complement other free services available to Rise customers through Elevate’s customer portal, such as financial literacy videos and credit monitoring.
“This partnership with SpringFour furthers our mission of ‘Good Today, Better Tomorrow,’ which aims to help customers build a brighter financial future,” said Jason Harvison, President and CEO of Elevate. “Financial literacy and easy-to-use tools are at the heart of that mission, and so we’re thrilled about SpringFour’s meaningful additions to our existing efforts.”
“The resources provided by SpringFour can help make a difference in the financial lives of consumers, and we depend on our trusted partners to make this assistance broadly available,” said Rochelle Nawrocki Gorey, Co-Founder, President and CEO of SpringFour. “We seek out companies like Elevate that not only embrace the idea of helping customers on the path to financial health, but provide the resources to achieve that goal as well, especially to non-prime consumers and even more so in these stressful financial times.”
Elevate cites a recent Fed study which found that 40% of Americans are unable to cover an emergency $400 expense as the continued impetus for partnerships with organizations like SpringFour.
“Clearly, many Americans are struggling financially, and the pandemic has exacerbated their hardship,“ said Harvison. “Data from our own Center for the New Middle Class shows that non-prime Americans, defined as those with credit scores below 700, face the biggest financial obstacles. To the extent we can help consumers better understand financial health best practices, or get them the help they need from other trusted organizations through our new link to SpringFour, we will continue to work hard to make such resources available.”
