About

MethodFi offers a solution for managing and paying off various types of debts through a single application programming interface (API). This API allows developers to integrate features such as loan repayment, data retrieval, and balance transfers into their applications without needing user credentials. MethodFi's product is debt-agnostic, meaning it can handle student loans, credit cards, auto loans, mortgages, and utility bills, providing real-time data on these liabilities. The service aims to lower lending risk and boost revenue for businesses by facilitating direct engagement with users' debts while also improving users' financial health through a seamless refinancing experience. MethodFi generates revenue by charging for its API and related services, including compliance, identity verification, and bank partnerships, and also offers a no-code solution through its Method Dashboard.
