Empowering Communities Through Affordable Healthcare Financing
We're on a mission to transform lives by making healthcare more affordable and accessible for underprivileged communities across the US. As a 501(c)3 charitable nonprofit fintech organization, our primary goal is to provide low-interest small-dollar loans to help individuals manage their medical expenses without resorting to predatory lending or credit card debt.

We recognized the urgent need to address the growing healthcare affordability crisis, as millions of Americans face mounting medical debt and lack emergency funds for medical expenses.

With a deep understanding of the financial challenges many people face, our team came together to create a compassionate, data-driven solution.

Our vision is a world where everyone has access to affordable healthcare financing, regardless of their financial circumstances. We strive to create a future where healthcare affordability challenges are a thing of the past and where individuals can focus on what truly matters: their health and well-being.

We're committed to making a difference, one life at a time. We invite you to join us in our mission to provide affordable healthcare financing to those in need. Together, we can build a brighter, healthier future for all.

Our approach
We believe in a human-centric approach to medical bill payments. We base our decisions on individual affordability rather than traditional credit scoring, allowing us to support those with thin or no credit files. By offering low-interest loans and debt forgiveness when circumstances worsen, we empower beneficiaries to protect and rebuild their credit scores, improving their financial well-being.

1. The maximum amount financed at this point of time is $2,500. Subject to state regulations, ligibility, credit check, underwriting and approval. Rates, terms and conditions apply.

3. Checking your eligibility might generate a soft credit inquiry on your credit report, which is visible only to you. Credit eligibility is not guaranteed and it depends upon key financing characteristics, including but not limited to the amount financed, your spending habits and your income.

4. The Federal Equal Credit Opportunity Act prohibits creditors from discriminating against credit applicants on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, age (provided the applicant has the capacity to enter into a binding contract); because all or part of the applicant’s income derives from any public assistance program; or because the applicant has in good faith exercised any right under the Consumer Credit Protection Act. The Federal agency that administers compliance with this law concerning this creditor is the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, 1700 G Street NW, Washington DC 20006 and the Federal Trade Commission, Equal Credit Opportunity, Washington DC 20580.

5. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account or applies for a loan. What this means for you: When you open an account or apply for a loan, we will ask for your name, street address, date of birth, tax identification number and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver's license, or other identifying documents.
