We are a team of math, finance, design, and technology geeks who are working to restore trust in the financial industry—with a particular focus on improving student loans. Our mission is to leverage better data and automation to empower people with the financial capital they need to live better lives. Our approach uses rich data analytics, simple, functional design, and elegant software to bring clients a fast, low-cost, and hyper-personalized borrowing experience.
Earnest culture combines startup scrappiness with the stability of being owned by a large public company—with perks and benefits being a unique blend of the two as well.
