Do you want to talk about bad debts and collections and…what’s that, you’d rather discuss athlete’s foot and gyms?
Listen up: on the show today is Gwyneth Borden, founder and CEO of Remynt, a debt collection CUSO - funded by One Washington Financial, the investment arm of Washington State Employees Credit Union and a recent guest on the show along with Starlight, an innovative fintech that also won funding from One Washington Financial.
So, yes, Remynt is doing collections but with a dramatic twist: it also emphasizes its mission is financial wellness and it helps consumers pay off their debts and rebuild credit.
Face it, a lot of Americans are struggling to pay their bills. Pew Research estimates that a quarter to a third of us struggle to pay their bills every month.
Remynt is there to help, while also helping credit unions collect the money they are owed.
If that seems paradoxical - indeed it is! - listen up as Gwyneth Borden explains Remynt’s approach to debt collection today.
