Augie Partners With BrightDime to Support Employee Credit Building
New offering helps employers support financial well-being with no-fee, no-interest credit card solution
NEW YORK, May 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Employers are increasingly seen as key players in their employees' financial well-being. With 83% of workers reporting that financial stress affects their productivity, and more than 80% saying their employer should play a role in improving financial health, leading workforce platforms are stepping up.
BrightDime has partnered with Augie to offer employees a new kind of credit-building benefit. The Augie Card is a no-fee, no-interest credit card with no security deposit required. Linked directly to a user's bank account, the card reports on-time payments for recurring bills, such as subscriptions, to major credit bureaus. This helps users build or improve their credit profiles by paying for expenses they already have.
BrightDime provides employers with financial wellness and career development tools. By integrating Augie into their offerings, they are expanding beyond education and into accessible, everyday financial solutions.
"This is the first product we've ever promoted, that's how much we believe in it," said Katie Rapley, Director of Marketing at BrightDime. "For employees living paycheck to paycheck or avoiding credit card debt, Augie offers a truly safe way to build credit and take back control."
"Augie is building strategic partnerships to reach people where they spend most of their time – at work," said Paul Harkins, co-founder of Augie. "We're creating a way to build credit that puts consumers back in control, and we'll continue expanding access to anyone who can benefit from the Augie Card."
