We saw our families struggle with bills
That’s why we started EarnUp
Our story
We created EarnUp because we saw financial worries take a toll on our parents. They scraped and saved, sometimes missed payments and struggled to get by.
EarnUp is a consumer-first payment platform. We designed it to help achieve a goal to provide Americans with the financial tools to easily manage their money and improve financial well being.
Our Mission: Enable millions of Americans to easily manage their money and improve their financial wellbeing.

The time is right for financial products to do better
Housing, healthcare and education are becoming less affordable. Americans are paying too much in interest and losing access to credit when they need it most.
35% of late payments are avoidable²
Credit card late fees cost Americans $3B each year²
“I like that it comes out every two weeks, it’s aligned with my pay schedule. That takes care of my mortgage and I know that the money left is just for personal expenses.”
