About Client - Democratize Access To Credit:

Together we’ll dismantle barriers to housing for working families to use data to eliminate the racial wealth gap. The ability to build credit from rental payments has the potential to give over 45 million renters with little to no credit a pathway into the financial system. Those individuals then stand to save over $200,000 in reduced lifetime interest payments, build home equity by qualifying for mortgages, and build wealth by passing job screening requirements. The transformational impact of this cannot be understated.

We are Remote Work Friendly - we trust you to manage your work and deliverables. As long as quality work is being done, you can choose the environment that works for you. We are a mission driven company with strong culture.
