Company Summary
Float is a non-bank, pro-consumer lending company. We offer interest-free, general-use credit in exchange for shopping loyalty. Our retailer network includes hundreds of major local and online stores. We profit from merchant commissions rather than from interest and fees from borrowers. We provide a safe borrowing alternative to the 72% of Americans that do not have adequate savings. We underwrite based on both credit risk and loyalty risk.
