Our mission is to move financial lives forward. We utilize data and technology to connect everyday Americans to financial solutions, empowering our customers to achieve their financial goals and build financial health.

We are a data-driven platform at the intersection of technology and credit*, built to meet the financial needs of millions of middle-income American consumers.

Since Avant (AvantCredit®) was founded in 2012, we have connected over 4 million customers to nearly $12 billion in loans and have grown to approximately 1.5 million credit card holders.

We are driven by purpose with a passion to empower people to achieve their financial goals, and that is why we’ve built a mission-driven company with our customers at its core. We honor the journey our customers are going through by serving their needs with the integrity, transparency, and trust they deserve.

Avant Offices

Hybrid Workspace

Employees engage in a combination of remote and on-site work.

Avantees work from our office Mon/Tues/Thurs. We hold the majority of our meetings & all-company events (Town Hall, Demo Day) on those days so that we can maximize our in-office time together. On Weds/Fri, many Avantees choose to work from home.

Typical time on-site: 3 days a week
