Clutch is transforming lending for credit unions to enhance the financial well-being of US consumers. The average American carries over $155,000 in household debt. Unlike fintech lenders and for-profit banks that often issue high-interest loans, credit unions operate as non-profit lenders offering lower cost loans.Clutch, an Andreessen Horowitz backed vertical SAAS company, develops software that empowers credit unions to function as fintech lenders and responsibly lend to over 130M Americans. Our rapid growth has seen us expand from a single-digit customer base to a diverse portfolio of medium to very large enterprise customers.
