About Attain
Built for consumers and companies alike. In a world driven by data, we believe consumers and businesses can coexist. Our founders had a vision to empower consumers to leverage their greatest asset—their data—in exchange for modern financial services. Built with this vision in mind, our platform allows consumers to access savings tools, earned wages, and rewards without cost or hidden fees. In exchange, they give permission to use their real-time data for research, insights, and targeted advertising.
At Attain, your contribution will help us build a more equitable and efficient data-sharing ecosystem—whether helping consumers access modern financial services or businesses leverage data to achieve better outcomes. You’ll have the opportunity to work directly with hands-on leaders and mission-driven individuals every day.
