The company also offers rent and utility payment reporting through RentTrack and LevelCredit, which Self acquired in February 2022.
Self Financial was formerly known as Self Lender. The company was founded by Conor Swanson and James Garvey in 2015 and is based in Austin, Texas. Notable investors include Altos invests, Meritech Capital, Conductive Ventures, and Silverton Partners.
