Method Financial is a leading force shaping the landscape of consumer finance, driven by a profound mission to revolutionize data and money movement for the next generation of consumers. Founded with a clear vision, Method Financial sets out to tackle the complexities surrounding consumer debt, aiming to democratize access to financial resources and empower individuals with greater control over their financial futures.

The journey of Method Financial commenced in the summer of 2019, sparked by the realization of significant obstacles in navigating users' student loans. Probing deeper into the issue, the team uncovered a widespread challenge concerning data and payment access across various types of liabilities. Thus, Method Financial was born with a noble purpose: to bridge the gap of inequality by offering consumers access to more competitive and affordable credit options. Furthermore, the company aspires to equip individuals with cutting-edge tools previously accessible only to financial professionals, enabling them to effectively manage their liabilities in one centralized platform.

The company has helped over two million users connect 15+ million liability accounts, save them millions in interest and fees, and get them access to billions of dollars in personalized loans. They have partnered with 60+ financial institutions - including Bilt Rewards, SoFi, PenFed, Figure, Happy Money and Aven - to deliver frictionless, personalized and engaging user experiences.

Method Financial is backed by investors and advisors from Andreessen Horowitz, Y Combinator, SV Angel, Ardent Ventures, Abstract Ventures, Truist Ventures, Truebill, Upstart, and more.
