Our mission
Real financial wellness for the millions of hard working employees, enabled and empowered by their employers.
People work hard to earn a living. And we believe that every hard working person, no matter how much they make, deserve to get excellent financial products. Not just excellent "for them"; objectively excellent.
But today, reality is far from it. Those who can't afford expensive financial products are the ones who are stuck with them. High interest and fees on credit cards, onerous personal loans, predatory payday lending, lack of access to affordable financial management tools or advisors, minimum balance fees, overdraft fees...the list is endless.
Truth is, there is only one reason this is the reality.
A financial system that is not built for the everyday employee. One that is built to feed off of them.
So we built River to change this reality. In partnership with employers who care for their employees' wellbeing.
