Empower.me provides personal finance management and credit building services through a subscription model. Users can sign up for a 14-day free trial, after which they pay $8 per month for access to various financial tools. These tools include customizable payment plans, budgeting features, and credit score monitoring. A key aspect of Empower.me is its focus on helping users build credit by reporting their payments to credit bureaus, which can enhance their credit history if payments are made on time. Additionally, the company offers a Thrive line of credit, which involves a soft inquiry on the user's credit report, ensuring no impact on their credit score. Empower.me stands out from competitors by specifically targeting individuals with no minimum credit score and providing resources to improve their financial health.
