“Can an employer-sponsored financial wellness platform become the embedded financial safety net for the American workforce by combining education, credit, and savings products delivered through payroll?”
Founded in 2008, FinFit began as an employer-sponsored financial wellness platform offering educational tools, assessments, and coaching to employees. Over time, it layered in embedded financial products — most notably payroll-deducted loans and emergency credit lines — positioning itself as a one-stop financial health benefit for HR buyers. The company is PE-backed and has grown to approximately 84 employees, focusing on the employer distribution channel rather than direct-to-consumer.
Finfit discloses Celtic Bank as its banking provider, according to the Embedded Finance Index 2026.
Finfit does not disclose a bank charter of its own; its banking services are provided through Celtic Bank.
