Clutch is a Vertical Saas Fintech transforming lending for credit unions. We believe that the best way to enhance the financial well-being of the US consumer is to connect them to the lowest cost of debt. Credit Unions while unheard of in the technology circles are large financial institutions that are community centric and have the best loan products.
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 is an Andreessen Horowitz (A16Z) backed mission driven company. We develop software that empowers credit unions to offer the best digital experience to the 130 million consumers they serve across the country.
Design is a vital organization at Clutch. Seamless user experience is a key differentiator for Clutch in the credit-union industry. By radically improving the banking experience at the credit union we are enabling an average American consumer to save thousands of dollars in debt that can be used towards meaningful life goals.
Credit unions want to enhance the consumer experience but are new to this domain. This requires deep customer empathy and thinking holistically about the end to end consumer experience (B2C) as well as the credit union processing experience (B2B). This is why we are building a team of talented folks who thrive on problem solving through design and love close customer collaboration. Joining Clutch is an opportunity to be at the forefront of the credit union movement and also shape the design culture of the company. We are a remote-first company and hence open to hiring anywhere across the country.
