Hello,
We're Empower

WANTED: Builders, Dreamers, Achievers, Mavericks, Trailblazers

Empower was created to meaningfully improve the financial health and wellbeing of today’s generation. We help people stretch their dollars between paychecks, save up for life’s emergencies, spend more consciously — and ultimately, rewrite their financial story. The drive, fearless thinking, and empathy we bring to our work delivers better outcomes for our community every day.

The Empower Way

Great expectations

We come up with bold, audacious goals for ourselves and go all out for impact.

Owner mindset

We give every employee latitude to act independently, make smart choices, and move the business forward.

Spirited debate

We love skeptics and seek counter opinions to challenge our personal assumptions and expand our view.

Customer obsession

We listen to understand, empathize, and create a memorable and rewarding experience for our community.

Inclusive collaboration

We believe diverse teams make the best decisions — and strive to give diverse voices a seat at the table.

No jerks allowed

We value our relationships and take the time to build trust and connection and communicate respectfully.

Want to make a difference in someone’s financial journey? Let’s go.

Empower is a financial technology company, not a bank. Banking services provided by nbkc bank, Member FDIC. Empower Thrive provided by FinWise Bank, Member FDIC. Empower charges an auto-recurring monthly subscription fee of $8 (a) after the 14-day free trial concludes for first-time customers, and (b) immediately for customers returning for a second or subsequent subscription.

* Eligibility requirements apply. Opening an Empower Thrive line of credit restricts access to Empower Cash Advance, with access restricted until the Empower Thrive line of credit is closed and you meet the eligibility requirements for Empower Cash Advance.

^ For Empower Cash Advance, free instant delivery is available for eligible Empower Card customers with an activated debit card. For the Empower Thrive line of credit, there is a 5% fee if you choose instant delivery.

† The Annual Percentage Rate is subject to change. An Empower Thrive line of credit is subject to credit approval. There are no costs to open an Empower Thrive line of credit. If you choose to pay your draw in full on your next paycheck date, your rate will be 0% APR; if you miss your payment, you will accrue interest at 35.99% APR and may incur late fees. If you choose to pay your draw on a date other than your next paycheck date, your rate will be 35.99% APR or as otherwise required by state law.

‡ We report your payments to the credit bureaus. Pay on time and keep utilization low for the best potential benefit. Many factors impact your credit score, and while making on-time payments and keeping utilization low may improve your score, there is no guarantee this will improve your score.

** Early access to paycheck deposit funds depends on the timing of the employer’s submission of deposits. We generally post such deposits on the day they are received which may be up to 2 days earlier than the employer’s scheduled payment date.

^^ Cashback deals on Empower Card purchases, including categories, merchants, and percentages, will vary and must be selected in the app. Cashback will be applied automatically when the final transaction posts, which may be up to a week after the qualifying purchase
