Making homeownership more valuable and accessible. Point is the leading home equity platform for homeowners and home buyers seeking an alternative to traditional home financing. Our flagship product, the Home Equity Investment (HEI), empowers homeowners to unlock their equity in order to eliminate debt, get through periods of financial hardship, and diversify their wealth – without adding to their monthly expenses. Point’s HEI enables investors to access a previously untapped asset class – owner-occupied residential real estate. Point is a nimble, fast-growing fintech company backed by top investors like Andreessen Horowitz, Westcap, and Ribbit Capital. We’re proud of our employee-centric culture, where every employee is empowered to make a positive impact on the future of the company and the lives of homeowners.

Since our founding in 2007, we have transformed the banking industry by bringing a traditional credit product - the installment loan - online and we’ve been on the fast track ever since. We are one of the first fintechs to acquire a national bank charter, which has transformed our business economics and introduced all new capabilities, and now others are following our lead, validating the strength of our model. We are one of America’s largest providers of unsecured personal loans, originating more than $100 billion in loans to our more than 5 million high-FICO, high-income members and helping them save millions on their cost of credit. And we’re just getting started. A Culture that Delivers Impact: We’re tackling big problems, but we’re a small enough organization for each individual to make a real difference People: We’re a group of smart, kind, low-ego, and values-driven people from a wide variety of industries and backgrounds who are committed to our mission Ideas: We seek out the best ideas – no matter where they come from – to look beyond what is possible today Values: It’s not just what you accomplish, it’s also how you accomplish it that matters Member FDIC
