At Deserve, they are committed to providing deserving but underserved people access to fair credit. When it comes to credit, most young people are caught in a catch-22: you don’t qualify for the credit because you lack a credit history, and to build a credit history you first need to get credit. Deserve is different. Where traditional lenders see risk, Deserve sees the potential. Instead of just looking at credit history, they measure each applicant’s credit potential by looking at factors such as education, current financial health, and future employability and earnings potential. Their compliance framework has been developed in kind to meet the most stringent requirements set forth by the law, using enhanced identity verification and consistent lending practices to ensure the utmost security and safety. The entire process, from sign up through approval to account management, is simple and frictionless. Ultimately, they believe credit and lending should be a win-win-win. Helping their customers be successful with credit and become financially independent is good for them, their business, and society, overall.

How to invest in Deserve stock?

Accredited investors can buy pre-IPO stock in companies like Deserve through EquityZen funds. These investments are made available by existing Deserve shareholders who sell their shares on our platform. Typically, these are early employees who need to fund a life event – house, education, etc. Accredited investors are then offered the opportunity to invest in this stock through a fund, like those used by hedge funds serving large investors. While not without risk, investing in private companies can help investors reach goals of portfolio diversification, access to potential growth and high potential return.
