Elevate Credit, Inc. (NYSE: ELVT), a leading tech-enabled provider of innovative and responsible online credit solutions for non-prime consumers, today announced the launch of the new Elevate.com. This groundbreaking website was specifically designed for non-prime consumers providing a financial marketplace and empowering educational tools for improving financial resilience. The site reimagines financial literacy to upend the traditional approach to financial wellness by leveraging credit data from Transunion, consumer insights from the Center for the New Middle Class, and Elevate’s customer experience expertise gleaned from years of serving American households. The website offers engaging content to help consumers improve their credit scores, understand how their values impact their finances, and demystify the world of personal finance.
“Elevate.com combines insights that are grounded in data to create a cutting-edge user experience that can address the complex needs of the non-prime population—more than 170 million Americans,” said Jonathan Walker, Executive Director of the Center for the New Middle Class, Elevate’s internal thinktank that conducts research, surveys and focus groups on the non-prime demographic. “Using longitudinal data and statistical analysis, our team designed a destination for anyone seeking flexible credit options and actionable guidance on the path to financial resilience.”
In order to help the non-prime population tackle financial obstacles with confidence, Elevate.com features an array of unique resources:
- Personalized ideas for how individuals can increase their credit scores by up to 40 points
- Customized reports with value-based actions to help visitors realize their financial goals
- Ability to explore how other people in similar circumstances improved their credit scores
- Step-by-step credit repair instructions to avoid paying a company for the service
- Detailed explanation of how credit reports and scores work and what consumers can do to achieve better financial health
- A borrowing marketplace where visitors can access a range of financial products depending on their unique needs
None of the resources on the website exist behind a firewall and all of them are free. Visitors will need to sign up for an account in order to save information and track their progress.
Matt Komos, Vice President, Global Head of Scores and Attributes at TransUnion added, “The tools on Elevate.com provide a consumer the ability to utilize individual, anonymous credit score data to help them understand their own credit journey relative to other consumers. We commend Elevate for developing financial wellness tools that are innovative and data driven. These tools are poised to make a meaningful impact on the lives of those facing financial setbacks, which are oftentimes outside of their control.”
“There is nothing else like Elevate.com in the marketplace today,” said Jason Harvison, Chief Executive Officer of Elevate. “We are leveraging our twenty years of experience in the industry with our deep relationship with TransUnion to give consumers an unprecedented view into the workings of financial improvement. I couldn’t be prouder of our efforts.”
