IRVINE, Calif., Dec. 15, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ConsumerDirect^®, The People First Financial Platform^®, is thrilled to announce the launch of its highly anticipated equity crowdfunding campaign on StartEngine, where everyday people can invest.

As one of the first mid-market companies to launch a campaign on the platform, ConsumerDirect and StartEngine are breaking the mold of what is possible for mid-market companies to fundraise. Considering ConsumerDirect’s proven profitability, which is evident based on 540% growth over the past five years, 4,000+ active partners¹, and five proprietary technology patents, the decision to support this fundraising campaign was undeniable.

This campaign represents a unique opportunity for investors to be part of ConsumerDirect’s mission to help the 92 million Americans with below 700 credit scores², which is resulting in $130B in mispriced financial products annually³. By joining forces with the community, ConsumerDirect aims to continue capturing more market presence, building new innovative features, expanding its distribution partner enablement to drive profitable growth, and continuing its trajectory as a prominent leader in the financial technology industry.

“Launching our equity crowdfunding campaign on StartEngine is a pivotal moment for ConsumerDirect.
