About Our Company:

We got tired of seeing our friends and family struggle under the crushing weight of student loans. So in 2013, we did something about it. We made a marketplace filled with banks and credit unions looking to help student borrowers. We used that network to help people shut out of refinancing find a way in. And we did it all from a tiny office in Cleveland, OH. In other words: we built Splash Financial.
Today, we’ve become a national leader with over $6 billion in refi requests. We’re expanding into technologies like machine learning, and automated underwriting that helps us match consumers to great offers — right from their phone. And we’ve raised over $70 million from investors like DST Global, Citibank, Northwestern Mutual, DVP, CMFG Ventures 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.

About Our Workplace:

Splash is remote-first, and proud of it. We spend our days creating ways to simplify financial products, then get them into the hands of people who need help. Right now, we’re focused on developing financial technologies that fundamentally change the way the industry lends. And before you ask: no, we’re not a crypto thing. And to hire the best, we provide the best: great health insurance, competitive salaries, and unique benefits like quarterly meet-ups, access to community and engagement tools. And although we’ve been around since 2013, we still love to think like a start-up — a place that empowers good people to do great things, fast. We’re friendly, folksy, and have Slack channels for both major league sports and minor league anime.
Also: we sometimes have free t-shirts.
