SpringFour, the only social impact fintech that helps financial institutions give customers the support they need to regain financial control, today announced in its just-released impact report that it delivered more than 3.3 million financial health referrals to Americans in need in 2021.

SpringFour Co-Founder & CEO Rochelle Gorey was selected as a 2022 LendIt Fintech Woman of the Year Finalist. As LendIt shares, “this award is given to the senior executive who has demonstrated outstanding leadership, integrity, performance, and a commitment to fostering gender diversity both within her company and in the industry at large.”

SpringFour is featured as a key resource for Mariner’s borrowers: “One benefit of working with Mariner Finance to get a personal loan is that customers get free access to SpringFour, an online tool that helps people find local resources. These services can help people find employment, find ways to reduce their bills or offer free or discounted food and prescription drugs.”

SpringFour is featured in this piece in Well and Good covering apps that enable financial wellness. The author notes that “these apps are poised to expand access to financial wellness at a time when pandemic-fueled uncertainty has made that all the more necessary.”

Rochelle Nawrocki Gorey was featured in Michigan State University’s Innovate State Speaker Series on December 1.

Listen to the dynamic conversation.

Elevate’s CEO Jason Harvison and SpringFour’s CEO Rochelle Gorey co-authored a piece for LendIt FinTech News on how financial institutions can help consumers who are still struggling in the wake of the pandemic. “Providing (financial) resources should be part of financial institutions’ strategic business strategies in the future. The pandemic exacerbated significant issues lying in wait and revealed how close many are to economic devastation. Financial institutions should design for this reality as an industry, offering products, partnerships, resources, and referrals that improve financial stability in real-time.”
