Self-Help is a family of nonprofit organizations whose mission is to create and protect ownership and economic opportunity for all. Since Self-Help's founding in 1980, it has grown to include two credit unions, a loan fund, and a research and policy development group that supports those outside of the economic mainstream.
Specifically, we:
* Help borrowers build wealth by providing fair and responsible mortgages and small business loans in North Carolina, California and other parts of the nation.
* Strengthen under-served communities by financing affordable housing, childcare centers, public charter schools, faith-based organizations, and community-focused commercial real estate projects.
* Research and report on financial markets to support policies and industry practices that lower the cost of poverty and promote ownership.
Bluevine is the banking platform for small businesses that need to keep moving. We bring banking, payments, billing, and access to capital into one connected place, so business owners can move money, pay vendors, get paid, and fund what’s next without switching tools or losing time.
We bring together high-yield business checking, bill pay, debit cards, invoicing and customer payments, and lines of credit, plus integrate with the accounting software business owners already use. And, we keep their money secure along the way. Since 2013, Bluevine has served over 1 million customers, delivered over $14 billion in loans, and is currently trusted with over $1 billion in managed customer deposits.
Behind it all are over 500 curious problem-solvers who learn fast, would rather solve problems together, and care deeply about the people we’re building for. Here, you’ll have the freedom to take ownership, grow your career, and build things small business owners across America use every day. Come see what we’re building: http://blvn.com/bluevinecareers.
Bluevine is a financial technology company, not a bank. Banking Services provided by Coastal Community Bank, Member FDIC. Lines of credit are issued by Celtic Bank.
