Peter Renton 01:40
Okay, so let’s kick it off by giving the listeners somewhat little bit of background about your self. Are you able to hit on a few of the highlights of your profession earlier than Self?
Julie Szudarek 02:36
Positive. So we truly moved house from the UK in July of 2023. And proper earlier than we left, I used to be operating a web-based B2C pharmacy enterprise that lined about 75% of the addressable European market. And pharmacy in Europe may be very, very totally different than it’s within the US. There’s no Walgreens, there’s no CVS, there’s, you realize, the nook pharmacist. And so being a web-based participant was very attention-grabbing from a, only a client perspective, and from a regulatory perspective. And actually obtained some, I assume you name them regulatory chops working, which, you realize, come to unravel, I believe is has been useful for me right here. Earlier than that, and what introduced me to Europe to the UK was I used to be working for Groupon, which was headquartered in Chicago, they usually wanted somebody to run the worldwide operations. And so I went over to London to run worldwide for Groupon, which was a couple of $2 billion turnover enterprise, overlaying 15 totally different international locations, and targeted on development and course of standardization whereas I used to be there. And discovered a ton about working in, you realize, non US employment markets and all of the enjoyable that goes together with that. And it was an ideal, residing in Europe was an ideal expertise, you realize, for me from a profession perspective, however from my household as effectively, when it comes to the experiences that we needed to have doing that. Prior, so I labored at Groupon in Chicago, which is the place the headquarters have been, led the native enterprise there, drove our market efforts, and actually turned Groupon from a deal a day right into a market firm. Previous to that I labored at Orbitz, which is a journey firm that Expedia has since acquired, after which prior was at a pair consulting corporations. And form of knew, I don’t know the way I knew this, so you’ll be able to’t ask me why, however from an early age, I form of had this objective to be a CEO. And so by my profession, form of what I’ve been heading in direction of.
Peter Renton 04:34
Proper proper. Nicely, and now you might be. So firstly, possibly speak about when Self and the way it obtained in your radar, and what attracted you to the CEO position at this firm?
Julie Szudarek 04:47
In order talked about, I got here house from the UK, from London in July of 2023. And it was actually the primary time in my life that I had a chance to take a while and search for a job. Prior I’d form of like job, campus recruiting, took a job after which one other job would come alongside, and possibly I’d take Friday off after which begin the brand new job on Monday. And it was simply this, it simply form of occurred. And I’m happy with each job I’ve ever had. However on this case, I actually had time to search for a job. And I needed to contemplatively go and search for a job. And so one of many first issues I did was I made a listing of the issues that I used to be in search of and issues that have been necessities and should nots, and get fairly severe about what these checklist of standards have been. And so discuss to, I imply a lot networking on this time interval. Sooner or later, I obtained a name from a headhunter, they usually stated, Hey, we now have this firm referred to as Self, possibly you’ve heard of it. And I stated, I don’t know. And it’s, it’s a fintech. And this, this and this. And as I obtained to know, the corporate, as I went by the interview course of with the board, and with James, the founder, like issues on my should have checklist simply began getting ticked. So nice buyers, cash within the financial institution, confirmed product market match, a caring firm, and just like the form of the icing on the highest of this entire factor was that this firm, not solely being, was not solely an organization that cared about, you realize, income and making returns for buyers, however actually, actually on the coronary heart had a mission in attempting to assist people. And it’s like, okay, that is the job for me. And so it was, you realize, a reasonably fast course of for me to get by the interview course of. And I believe we simply, we discovered, our eyes met on this chance. And it was, it was the proper alternative for me.
Peter Renton 06:30
Nice. So I did interview James, a couple of years in the past, which I’ll hyperlink to within the present notes. For many who have an interest. So then, possibly let’s form of begin with speaking about how do you describe Self immediately?
Julie Szudarek 06:44
Yeah, so at its roots, Self is an organization that helps customers with low or no credit score, reestablish or set up for the primary time, their credit score. And credit score is, I believe, as most of us listening to this podcast, in all probability know, it’s form of an entree to life. And in the event you don’t have credit score, or you probably have poor credit score, you realize, you’re simply deprived in life. And often, that is occurring to those that don’t want any extra disadvantages in life. When you have a poor credit score rating, it’s tougher to get good insurance coverage, it’s tougher to get a mortgage, you may not be capable of, you realize, you might need to have the next deposit in your residence that you simply’re attempting to hire, it simply goes on and on. And it’s simply this demise spiral down. And so James based this firm to essentially assist individuals enhance their outcomes by using entry and enchancment of credit score and rating.
Peter Renton 07:36
Okay, so then possibly discuss somewhat bit extra about who’s form of the core buyer? Is it younger individuals? Is it immigrants? Individuals attempting to rebuild credit score? What’s the standard, possibly you may form of inform us somewhat little bit of a few of the totally different cohorts you may have?
Julie Szudarek 07:51
Yeah, so most of our clients, or numerous our clients, I received’t say most, however numerous our clients are in segments of the inhabitants which might be simply underrepresented in banks and within the banking system. And so they, you realize, might have distrust of the banking system, as a result of they’ve gone in earlier than and tried to get a mortgage for one thing, or tried to open a checking account. And have been informed no, sorry, you’ll be able to’t try this. Or you need to pay us to open a checking account since you don’t come up with the money for. So it’s, it’s individuals who, you realize, are inherently probably distrustful of the standard banking system that exists on this nation. We do have lots of people who’ve had a few errors which have led them to have, you realize, damaging credit score scores that result in a few of the damaging outcomes that I described beforehand. We’ve people which might be new to credit score, so simply have by no means had the chance to determine credit score. The ironic factor about credit score is you want credit score to get credit score. And so we we form of assist each these eventualities. So each the restore and the reestablishment or the institution of credit score. We’ve numerous, ladies are in our inhabitants. Our goal market, you realize, is over 100 million Individuals and rising as a result of we’ve had, you realize, we’ve had some actually tough years right here, particularly for a few of the populations on this nation, simply with inflation and rates of interest rising. So we see that pool of of people that want our assist is definitely rising and we’re, we’re not excited that it’s rising, however we’re excited that we now have a product that we actually suppose may help them get by powerful instances and enhance their monetary futures.
Peter Renton 09:21
So are you able to simply discuss somewhat bit extra concerning the credit score builder merchandise, simply clarify the way it works and and what’s concerned in establishing a credit score builder account?
Julie Szudarek 09:33
Initially, to if, if anybody listening needs to arrange a credit score builder account, you’ll be able to go to Self dot Inc, to do this. We take you thru a course of and primarily, as a client, you present us some data. And we, I believe it’s a 12 step course of. And we take you thru the screens and it doesn’t take an extremely lengthy period of time, and also you decide to paying cash right into a secured CD account each single month. And as soon as when you try this, we take the discover of that cost. And we inform the three credit score bureaus that Peter has made a cost of X variety of {dollars}, and it’s gone into this account. And we report that in your behalf each single month to the three credit score bureaus. And what this does is couple issues. One, you might be establishing or reestablishing your credit score, as a result of we’re reporting that data to the credit score bureaus. We report to a few credit score bureaus as a result of as an individual who may desire a mortgage, or wants a credit score verify performed sooner or later, say to do an residence rental, you don’t have any concept which credit score bureau, you realize, the individual doing that in your behalf goes to make use of, so three is a vital quantity for us that we that we discuss to all these three. You’re studying methods to save over this time interval. Many individuals have like, by no means had the chance or thought of saving, and so we’re educating a behavior of saving. At month three, in the event you’ve been profitable in making these funds, we give you entry to a secured bank card, which for over 30% of our inhabitants doesn’t have a bank card, and this is perhaps the primary card they’ve ever obtained. And in order that’s a pleasant advantage of this product. After which on the finish of the time period of the credit score builder account, you as the buyer get a lump cost of all that cash that you simply’ve saved, you realize, minus the curiosity that we that we take out as our charges. And so it’s a fairly thrilling second for customers on the finish, it’s nearly like in the event you keep in mind, Publishers Clearing Home used to do these commercials on TV, they usually come over to somebody’s home with a verify. I believe for a few of our customers, it’s like that. They’ve truly saved for the primary time they usually get a verify from us or an ACH disbursement on the finish of the time that they’ve saved this cash, they’ve probably improved their credit score with with the credit score bureaus, and we hope that they’ve additionally developed a behavior of of understanding methods to save.
Peter Renton 11:49
Proper, proper. So then what occurs then after that form of 12 month interval, I imply, clearly, you stated some have the secured bank card, which I imagined they maintain utilizing, however do you may have like a commencement course of for these individuals?
Julie Szudarek 12:02
So we now have lately began providing one other option to construct, rebuild and set up credit score, which is a hire and payments product. And in order that works in an analogous option to what I’ve described with the credit score bureau. We search for your hire and payments, funds inside your financial institution accounts, and simply by a course of that we now have. After which we report these funds to the credit score bureaus similarly as described. And so that may be in your hire, that may be in your utility payments, so like your fuel and electrical. And people are additionally constructive numbers that we are able to present to the credit score bureaus. When it comes to extra commencement merchandise, that’s one thing that we’re working very onerous to proceed to determine. Our clients love working with us. You realize, in the event you go and look within the app retailer, we now have actually excessive buyer rankings, we now have nice buyer critiques, we now have nice take a look at buyer testimonials. And so we all know they need to proceed working with us. And we’re working onerous internally to determine what it’s that is smart for the shoppers that we’ve been capable of graduate from this system.
Peter Renton 13:07
Proper. And I did truly go on to the app retailer, the Apple app retailer and noticed, you may have over 250,000 critiques, 4.9 stars, that to me was fairly staggering, as a result of it means clearly most, nearly everybody’s providing you with a 5 star score. And I’m positive you learn a few of these critiques, I’m positive you probably did earlier than you took the job. What do your clients like most about Self?
Julie Szudarek 13:30
I believe what they like most is a that they’re able to see a constructive motion of their credit score rating. And numerous our clients are available in, and in the event you ask them what their objective, what their monetary objectives are, they’ll say they need to personal a home. However they know that with a purpose to get a mortgage and personal a home, they should have, you realize, a suitable credit score rating. And so I believe numerous them get very excited that they’re capable of, you realize, enhance credit score and form of discover ways to save and learn the way to consider credit score in a method that possibly they didn’t know methods to do previous to working with us. And I believe, you realize, there’s numerous thriller in credit score scores, you realize, even these within the business I’d say they in all probability would say there’s numerous thriller in it. However I believe we demystify a few of that for our clients, which I believe is extremely useful.
Peter Renton 14:16
Proper, proper. So are you able to share some metrics. I imply, what’s the typical, possibly you may even give a variety of enhance to buyer’s credit score rating, and I think about it’s going to be totally different if somebody is available in they usually’ve obtained a, you realize, a 500 credit score rating and somebody is available in with a 640. I imply, are you able to give us no less than some details about how a lot do individuals’s credit score scores enhance?
Julie Szudarek 14:36
I’ll begin by saying there’s numerous stuff that goes right into a credit score rating, you realize, there’s the place you begin, as you talked about. We solely, controls not even the correct phrase, however we solely have perception into what individuals do on the Self platform. So you realize, individuals can do issues exterior of the Self platform that might assist or hurt them along with what we’re doing, however for purchasers which might be well timed with their funds on our platform, we now have seen, like, a credit score rating enhance of round 49 factors. We take a look at this knowledge lots, it’s essential knowledge to us, as a result of we need to make it possible for we’re at all times serving to our clients transfer ahead. And, you realize, the I believe the opposite factor that, like I discussed earlier than, like this constructing of behavior of saving is a vital a part of our product as effectively. And an necessary factor that, to me, signifies that our clients are evolving and studying and actually creating new habits. And new habits are onerous. Like, we knew that, you realize, if it’s with train, or consuming or saving, it’s an analogous form of factor that your, your thoughts has to undergo. And saving’s in all probability even more durable than the opposite two, since you’ve run, individuals run into mishaps once they simply can’t do the saving that they have been planning on doing. So actually, that that behavior is fairly spectacular to me. Our new product that I discussed that we launched, which is a hire reporting product, we’ve simply truly completed some research with externally, with the hire reporting product, we see a couple of 15 level enhance in simply three months. And once more, it’s all of the caveats I stated earlier than, individuals may do issues exterior of our platform that makes that quantity totally different, both increased or decrease. However we see fairly first rate outcomes from that as effectively.
Peter Renton 16:17
Proper. Okay. Okay, glorious. I’m concerned about monetary literacy, proper? And it looks like you stated persons are getting used to this financial savings behavior, seeing enhancements of their monetary lives, nearly in actual time. However are they studying? I imply, how do you strategy monetary literacy? As a result of it looks like numerous your clients is the primary form of foray they’ve taken in to attempt to enhance their monetary lives.
Julie Szudarek 16:40
Proper. So we now have many communication contact factors with our clients. So signing up for the product, you realize, there’s training that happens inside that signup course of. You realize, clearly, the behavior right here we’re attempting to construct is that this on time, month-to-month cost. And so we do an amazing quantity of labor. And we’re at all times iterating on what sort of messaging ought to we be giving our clients concerning the significance of creating these funds in a well timed method. And so we, you realize, we ship emails and several types of notifications to assist remind that cost, on time cost is necessary. We’ve a sequence on YouTube with our, we now have an authorized monetary planner that works with us. And he or she has a sequence on YouTube that educates customers about credit score and the way to consider credit score and credit score constructing and financial savings. And, you realize, she has numerous actually attention-grabbing issues that she does there, and says there for us.
Peter Renton 17:35
When you’ve been watching a few of the fintech media, there’s been some criticism of not your organization particularly, however credit score builder merchandise generally, some individuals argue that they’re too costly, they usually’re not a dependable sign of credit score conduct. How do you reply to that form of criticism?
Julie Szudarek 17:53
Yeah, I believe it’s attention-grabbing. I’m not going to speak. I received’t identify opponents. However I’ll discuss usually about opponents. I imply, I believe, so far as I can inform, I believe James and Self have been one of many first gamers on this area. And so I believe we created a class. And naturally, I work right here, so I believe that our product is the most effective available on the market. What’s occurred is, you realize, our product has been so profitable that we’ve had copycats. As you see with any profitable product, you at all times have those that are available in and attempt to copy. And I believe a few of those who have are available in and copied, have taken shortcuts to make the product appear simpler to make use of for customers. And I believe that has, you realize, what you’re speaking about, a few of the criticism that’s been on the market, I believe a few of that has to do with a few of these copycat merchandise which might be on the market, as a result of, you realize, you simply take a look at them. And as a client, they appear straightforward, however we don’t consider the efficacy of these merchandise is as sturdy as our efficacy could be. And I believe it’s a few of these dangerous gamers which have, you realize, trigger a few of this, this downside that you simply’re speaking about. Once more, I’m not gonna identify the identify individuals right here, however you realize, some Google searches may point out some individuals who have had latest bother simply with the precise subject that you simply’re speaking about. So our objective is to at all times be you realize, client first, and doing the correct factor by customers such that regardless that our merchandise might need an analogous identify to a few of these that possibly aren’t nearly as good at serving to with credit score, that we’re actually doing proper by the buyer. You realize, for us that’s an excellent necessary, important factor for us to do.
Peter Renton 19:29
I need to speak about doing proper by the buyer. I need to speak about your relationship with SpringFour that, I noticed that information, I believe it was only a few weeks in the past. And full disclosure I’m, I’ve identified Rochelle, the CEO and founder there for a few years, and I’m formally an advisor to SpringFour as of like two weeks in the past. Perhaps you may clarify a bit about what you’re doing with SpringFour and why you determined to carry them on.
Julie Szudarek 19:55
Nicely, I’ve identified Rochelle for a really very long time, many years.
Peter Renton 19:59
Okay, longer than me.
Julie Szudarek 20:02
She’s the CEO of SpringFour. And he or she was truly instrumental in like, serving to me by this sort of job choice. So she was one of many first those that I talked to once I began speaking to Self that was exterior. So I share, I share your long-term, you realize, relationship together with her. So we work with SpringFour, we ship lots of our clients to SpringFour to assist them with each monetary literacy, and to assist them discover extra methods to form of navigate the monetary panorama that they reside in. So we all know that our, you realize, we all know our clients are having powerful instances. We lately did a survey and one thing like 30% of our clients have been planning to start out a aspect hustle within the coming yr, like as a result of they want more cash, 30%, have been already doing a aspect hustle, and numerous the assets at SpringFour, you realize, assist individuals which might be having monetary issue, form of get out of that scenario. So they provide numerous assets educationally, they provide totally different financial savings applications that is perhaps obtainable to customers that buyers don’t even know exist. However in the event you’re in a sure, you realize, revenue bracket, or socioeconomic class, could be useful to you. And so we we hyperlink numerous clients there for training. And I believe we’ve handed over 3 million totally different clients to SpringFour since we began our relationship with them in 2019. So it’s been an ideal relationship. And like I stated, on the core of what we do is admittedly serving to that client and enhance their monetary future. And we really feel that like, SpringFour has an ideal capability to do this, past the sorts of issues that we are able to do right here at Self.
Peter Renton 21:41
Proper, and like, I believe it’d be good to form of speak about somebody, when somebody will get into bother, proper, they’re attempting to make these month-to-month funds, and they’re, you realize, clearly there’s gonna be some those that lose their job, they get into some form of issue, medical debt, or no matter it’s, they usually simply merely received’t, can’t do it. How do you deal with, I imply clearly you’ll be able to you’ll be able to refer them to SpringFour, however simply internally, what do you do to assist them?
Julie Szudarek 22:05
You realize, we attempt to assist individuals with telling them, you realize, once they must pay, in the event that they don’t must pay, our course of is totally cancelable if individuals get right into a scenario the place they’ll not make funds. And so we let we let individuals cancel, assuming they’ve already accrued funds into their secured CD account the place we put the shopper’s cash, we’d get them get that again to them as rapidly as doable to allow them to have entry to these funds. After which, you realize, we maintain in touch with our clients, in order that we are able to discuss to them sooner or later once they’re in a greater monetary place. And I’d say one of many issues, we launched this free hire and payments reporting product in early December, and one of many causes we did that was the financial local weather had been very tough, only a few items of information. In 2023, the typical household had like one thing like $390 by $400 further per thirty days, in simply inflation prices simply from groceries and gasoline and no matter. And like $100 further in curiosity funds from their automobile or wherever they may have curiosity, bank cards, and so forth. And in the event you identical to, I imply $6,000 a yr, that’s not like, that’s not small, particularly in the event you’re already financially constrained. And so one of many causes we launched our free hire and payments reporting product was as a result of we knew individuals had a must restore credit score. However we additionally knew that possibly they couldn’t pay right into a credit score builder account proper now. And so we noticed this as a option to get them on the Self ecosystem to start out serving to the shoppers and to maneuver ahead. And simply to be clear that the free service we provide is hire reporting, not hire and payments. So we now have one other product that’s a payments product, however that’s a for-fee product for our clients.
Peter Renton 23:55
Gotcha. I do know this form of predates your tenure right here. However you realize in the event you’re watching the NBA proper now you see the Self adverts are on TV, you see them, your emblem on, I consider it’s the San Antonio Spurs jerseys there. So inform us somewhat bit about your advertising and marketing technique, why you’ve determined to choose that individual sport and go all in?
Julie Szudarek 24:20
We sponsor the Spurs jerseys. So anybody watching an NBA sport that the Spurs are in will see Self on the jersey of the gamers, which is admittedly cool and thrilling. That is one very seen and thrilling a part of our advertising and marketing combine and our advertising and marketing technique. I believe one of many causes you realize, that we selected basketball first was, it’s a excessive affinity class for our clients. And so we do numerous buyer surveys, and we discovered that our clients have an affinity to basketball. After which quantity two, the Spurs group is one which I don’t know, it simply form of mirrors the values of Self. So they’re, they’re an incredible group, they’re very values primarily based, form of in every thing that they do, it’s concerning the values and ensuring that the human spirit is represented. And that, you realize they concentrate on underserved communities, they usually do numerous social goodness on this planet, and in San Antonio. And so it was simply form of a pure match. I truly had the superb alternative this previous weekend, to go to the All Star Sport of the NBA, which was in Indianapolis, as a visitor of the Spurs and had a chance to spend time with lots of the executives there. And it’s identical to, we’re identical to minded. And so it’s a very nice match for what Self is attempting to do, and what the Spurs are attempting to do. So we’re simply form of naturally collectively.
Peter Renton 25:48
Proper, proper. And so they’ve obtained a really thrilling younger participant on their group proper now that’s getting numerous…
Peter Renton 25:53
Sure. Very, very tall certainly. I’d prefer to form of shut with wanting in direction of the long run. What’s form of in your precedence checklist? The place do you see Self going within the quick to medium time period?
Julie Szudarek 25:53
He’s very tall.
Julie Szudarek 26:09
Yeah, a few issues. So one, we all know that, you realize, there’s a 100 million Individuals that want, you realize, that may profit from the merchandise that we provide. And so we’re doing, and I believe that’s rising, each with the financial system that we’ve simply had for the previous few years, and with the truth that, you realize, school mortgage forgiveness is now over, and also you’ve obtained persons are simply going to be in the necessity to enhance their credit score. And so we’re doing numerous work on the core merchandise. So the credit score builder account, and the secured bank card to make simply make them higher. There’s at all times issues you are able to do to make issues higher. We’re testing lots with pricing, to probably make our merchandise extra accessible to extra individuals. And we’re doing numerous work, simply to make that product, these merchandise nearly as good as doable. After which we’re doing lots to search out new entry factors and entry factors for customers who possibly don’t need the credit score builder account as their foray into Self. You realize, I discussed already the hire product that we now have, that’s one, and we’re in search of extra entrance doorways we name them, to essentially assist our clients. And so our mission stays, serving to clients enhance their monetary futures. However we really feel that we now have traction on this, this space already, and we’re gonna proceed to construct issues which might be nice for our clients.
