Pathward Financial Inc. has announced the extension of its partnership with Oportun Financial Corporation, a collaboration that will now continue through 2029. This extended agreement allows Pathward to maintain its role in originating both unsecured and secured personal loans across the nation under programs developed by Oportun. While Pathward focuses on financial access, Oportun will handle marketing, underwriting, fraud prevention, servicing, and administration of the loans, under Pathward's oversight. The partnership aims to provide underserved populations with greater access to financing, supporting Oportun's mission of financial inclusion. This collaboration, which began in 2020, is designed to empower customers with intelligent borrowing, saving, and budgeting tools.
