The Company
MPOWER’s borderless loans and scholarships enable students worldwide to realize their full academic and career potential by attending top universities in the U.S. and Canada.
As a mission-oriented fintech/edtech company, we move extremely quickly and leverage the latest technologies, global best practices, and heavy analytics to tackle one of the biggest challenges in financial inclusion. We’re backed by over $150 million in equity capital from top global investors, and have completed our 2nd securitization with over $330 Million subscribed by existing and new investors, which enables fast growth and provides our company with economic stability and a clear path to an IPO over the coming years.
Our global team comprises former management consultants, financial service and technology professionals, and other experts in their respective fields. We work hard, have fun, and believe strongly in our cause. For us, MPOWER’s mission is personal.
As a team member, you’ll be challenged to think quickly, act autonomously, and constantly grow creatively in an environment where fast change and exponential growth are the norm. Ideation and implementation happen very quickly. We value feedback and emphasize personal and professional development by providing the resources you need to further your skills and grow with the company. MPOWER is committed to cultivating your strengths and curiosity and helping you make an immediate impact.
MPOWER has been named one of the best fintechs to work for by American Banker for the past 6 years. We are honored to be nominated by multiple agencies and publications for our leadership in Tech, diversity, and social impact. We pride ourselves on being a “growth company for grown-ups,” where there are no pool tables but rather excellent health, education, and maternity/paternity benefits instead. Our team diversity has also been recognized; we’re one of the most diverse workforces in the world in terms of nationality, gender, religion, age, sexual orientation, and educational background.
