Avant
A Chicago fintech serving near-prime and subprime borrowers with personal loans and the AvantCard Mastercard. Its card is unusually clean for the segment: one annual fee between $0 and $75, no deposit, no monthly fees, and no foreign transaction fees. There are no rewards, so the product is purely a credit-building vehicle.
