Key Quotes:
“In the current market environment, more consumers than ever will need to build or rebuild their credit score. That is why we are thrilled that the Mucker team has embraced our vision to create a more inclusive society, through our financial inclusion platform.”
– Joe Bayen, CEO and founder at Grow Credit
“Grow Credit levels the personal finance playing field for regular, everyday people and creates a more comprehensive view of a consumer’s credit. When people pay their cellphone bills or their Netflix bills on time every month, why shouldn’t that be reflected positively on their credit? We couldn’t be happier to support Joe and Grow Credit standing up for consumers to help them build a stronger financial future for themselves and their families.”
– Erik Rannala, founder at Mucker Capital
