Who we are
Brigit is the leading holistic financial health app designed to bring meaningful change to the two-thirds of Americans needing financial help. Brigit provides transparent, affordable, and simple financial tools to help Americans build a brighter future by helping them get cash when they need it, build credit, budget, avoid unfair fees, and save.
Unlike other financial apps, Brigit is fully transparent, with no hidden fees, interest, or tipping.
An aligned business model
As Brigit’s members learn how to budget better, save more, and borrow less, it costs less for the company to serve that member. What’s better for our members is better for Brigit. Unlike banks, traditional lenders, and other apps whose bottom line is tied to the amount– or how many times – their customers borrow from them, Brigit has a flat monthly subscription.
“It’s simple. Brigit benefits when its members are able to better manage their cash-flow and use advances with less frequency.”
