Making people more powerful than their debt
The Role
ABOUT OUR COMPANY:
The crushing weight of debt is something that we believe holds people back from reaching their dreams and making a splash in the world. So in 2013, after seeing our friends and family struggle with student loans, we created Splash Financial. 

Over the years, our mission has expanded to include helping people with other forms of debt - such as refinancing credit cards, which are at all time highs in the US. And we’ve been able to refinance $6+ Billion in loans through our network of Splash, powered credit union and bank partners who leverage our marketplace and automated loan processing technology. And we’ve raised over $135 million from investors like partners of DST Global, Citi Ventures, TruStage Ventures, Northwestern Mutual Future Ventures, Detroit Venture Partners, and more.

But at our core, we’re still that little company from Cleveland with a big dream: to make people more powerful than their debt and we’re just getting started..

ABOUT OUR WORKPLACE:

Splash is remote-first, and proud of it. 

We spend our days simplifying financial products and getting them into the hands of people who need them most. Right now, we’re focused on building financial technologies that fundamentally transform how the industry lends.

Although Splash has been around since 2013, we still operate like a startup — fast-paced, nimble, and full of heart. We’re good people who care deeply about doing meaningful work and we approach challenges with creativity, passion, and urgency.

And to hire the best, we provide the best: great health insurance, competitive salaries, and unique benefits like quarterly meet-ups and access to engagement tools that keep us connected — even from afar.

At Splash, everything we do is guided by our values:

Own It – We take full accountability and follow through on commitments.

Raise the Bar – We move fast, innovate faster, and push through barriers.

Say the Hard Thing – We speak up with honesty, respect, and a desire to solve problems and make things better.

Elevate Each Other – We win as a team by lifting each other up.

These values show up in how we work and how we connect — whether we’re collaborating on big projects or bonding over everyday moments. Yes, we even have Slack channels for #kids-and-pets and #food because we believe being human makes us better teammates.

What We Do

In 2013, we set out to solve a problem: we got tired of seeing our friends and family struggle under the crushing weight of student loan debt. Debt can hold people back from opportunities and delay the impact they’re meant to make in the world. So we did something about it and built a life raft; we started Splash Financial. We built a marketplace of banks and credit unions focused on helping people refinance their student loans. Our goal was simple: use the power of our network to deliver great rates and real savings. And we did it all from a tiny office in Cleveland, OH. In 2022, we expanded our products to help people tackle credit card debt, assisting more people to find better financial footing. By 2025, we launched a home equity line of credit product, allowing homeowners to leverage their equity to reduce costs in their everyday lives and unlock new possibilities. Throughout all this growth, we’ve helped more than 125,000 people refinance over $6 billion in loans and one thing has remained consistent: to make people more powerful than their debt! We’re here to make loan stuff way less complicated - and faster than you’d expect. Whether you’re refinancing student loans, consolidating credit card debt, or tapping into your home equity with a HELOC, we help you get your debt together quickly with our streamlined online process. How? Thanks to automated underwriting and our hybrid marketplace, you get matched with offers from banks and credit unions across the country — even the ones you’ve never heard of but wish you had. It’s all powered by seriously smart tech designed to get you approved quickly, so you can stop stressing and start saving. Fast, easy, and all at your fingertips.

Why Work With Us

Splash is remote-first, and proud of it. We spend our days focused on developing financial technologies that fundamentally change the way the industry lends. We’re friendly, folksy, and we’re good people who want to make a difference in the financial landscape, and we approach tackling challenges with creativity, passion and urgency.
