Similar to leading debit card for Gamers Ugami's integration, Beem is working on releasing a credit card product in 2024. Integrating Grow API's "Grow to Go" white-label product will enhance Beem’s credit card graduation process. It also enables consumers already paying subscriptions with debit or prepaid cards to build credit without incurring more debt while receiving continuous financial health education promoting responsible borrowing.

Meanwhile, Beem's AI/ML-powered technology, tested against $130M in payments and over $70M in disbursements and possessing the industry's lowest net chargeoff and transaction losses, will be leveraged by Grow to combat fraud and minimize risks and payment transaction losses.

Joe Bayen, CEO at Grow Credit, states, "We're excited to support Beem's vision to cater to their user's immediate and future needs by offering a financial inclusion product blending free and affordable memberships with built-in financial education tools. Meanwhile, Beem's leading AI/ML-powered risk tools will enable us to generate significant transaction savings that will be passed on to customers through our free membership program."

Beem's Super App operates as a one-stop shop for its members by offering a wide array of tools to support their daily financial needs, including financial protection, tax help, overdraft protection, wallet, auto insurance savings, roadside assistance, and more for a monthly subscription, with plans to eventually offer mortgage products. The app also features EverdraftTM - the only compliant non-credit alternative to Cash Advance as one of its many popular AI-powered services.

Akshay Krishnaiah, CEO at Beem, added, "A large segment of our audience is feeling the negative impact of rising inflation, and we've been focusing on delivering tools that will ease that burden. Offering an effective credit builder such as Grow aligns with our vision of minimizing the stress of rising interest rates on our audience's budgets. We're also excited to support Grow's effort to optimize its risk performance, enabling them to extend their vision of democratizing credit access."

Grow Credit recently announced its Series A funding round led by USAA. The platform is poised to make additional major announcements throughout 2024 as more financial institutions, insurance carriers, Fintechs, and subscription businesses rapidly embrace Grow API's innovative payment, retention, and turndown solutions.
