This strategic acquisition will expand SpringFour’s reach, positioning the company for growth by leveraging the C&R Software network to forge partnerships with even more organizations across the country and globe, providing our award-winning financial health solutions near and far.

SpringFour will continue to operate as a standalone brand. I will remain as CEO and the SpringFour team will join me.

What this news signifies most of all is this: financial health is here to stay. 

Together, we have changed perspectives, industries, and millions of lives — and now, the sky’s the limit.

Thanks to Constellation Software’s buy and hold philosophy to investing, the products we’ve built and the resources we’ve vetted and curated will continue to help people and organizations far beyond what any of us could’ve imagined when this company was first founded. When we launched in 2005, financial health wasn’t even a known term. Today, we have led the way in making it a mainstay. 

This new chapter signifies an industry-defining moment, demonstrating that supporting consumer financial health is a competitive differentiator and sound business decision that results in win-wins. 

We are proud of SpringFour’s success and growth that led us to this moment — and we can’t wait to get started on making an even greater impact on the industry and consumers’ financial well-being.
