Augie Partners with BrightDime to Boost Employee Credit

New offering helps employers support financial well-being with no-fee, no-interest credit card solution.

Employers are increasingly seen as key players in their employees' financial well-being. With 83% of workers reporting that financial stress affects their productivity, and more than 80% saying their employer should play a role in improving financial health, leading workforce platforms are stepping up. BrightDime has partnered with Augie to offer employees a new kind of credit-building benefit. The Augie Card is a no-fee, no-interest credit card with no security deposit required. Linked directly to a user's bank account, the card reports on-time payments for recurring bills, such as subscriptions, to major credit bureaus. This helps users build or improve their credit profiles by paying for expenses they already have.
