At Clutch, our mission is to revolutionize lending for credit unions, enhancing the financial well-being of US consumers.
The average American has over $155,000 in household debt. While fintech lenders and for-profit banks are happy to issue high interest loans to consumers, credit unions have quietly existed as non-profit lenders that offer lower cost loans. If we can enable them with the right technology, we can enhance the financial well being of the digitally savvy US consumer.
We're an Andreessen Horowitz backed vertical SAAS company, rapidly growing to serve a wide range of customers, from medium to large enterprise credit unions. Our innovative software solutions are transforming these institutions into fintech lenders, impacting over 130M Americans.
