Austin, TX, Nov. 06, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Self Financial, Inc., announced today its partnership with SpringFour to increase Self customers’ access to local resources that help with financial wellness and coping with financial hardships.
While Self customers are focused on building their credit with Self’s Credit Builder Account and secured credit card, their progress can be disrupted if they run into financial difficulties beyond the scope of Self’s products. These difficulties are often exacerbated by consumers not knowing what their options are or where to turn for help.
By providing access to SpringFour’s database of nonprofit resources, Self hopes more customers can continue making progress on their credit-building journey, finding solutions to financial difficulties, and building towards other financial goals, including overall financial health.
“We recognize building credit isn’t the only financial challenge our customers face, nor their only financial goal,” says James Garvey, CEO and cofounder of Self. “Our customers have a drive to improve their overall financial situations and work towards goals like savings, owning a home, or managing their debt, to name a few examples. By partnering with SpringFour, we can help our customers achieve the financial wellness they seek.”
SpringFour's technology platform helps bridge the gap for customers by connecting them with trusted local, state and national resources. Each resource has been carefully vetted and approved prior to inclusion in their marketplace. With a simple search by zip code, this platform provides people with various resources in their respective area willing to assist them.
"We are excited to bring SpringFour to Self customers because we know that by offering targeted local resources to people when they need financial help, we can help get them back on track with their payments and create opportunities for savings,” said Rochelle Nawrocki Gorey, Co-Founder and CEO, SpringFour. "These resources will complement the great work Self is doing to help their customers build credit."
