3 Bright success stories

Getting out from under debt can feel overwhelming. But you’re not alone. Bright makes smart card payments for you, always on time and optimized to lower your interest charges. It runs automatically and adjusts as your finances shift, and you can set your own pace, to slow down or go faster. 

Here are three real-life stories from Bright users, in their own words:

Wanda, 38 - Los Angeles

“I’ve had financial problems in the past and I’ll probably have them in the future. The difference is that now I have somebody watching out and helping me. I’m a single mom with two kids and a lot going on. Bright makes sure my bills get paid on time and alerts me if there’s a problem. Even if I get overwhelmed, my bills get paid and my credit stays protected. It’s nice knowing somebody has my back. I feel like I have a partner who helps me handle my finances smarter.”

Sarah, 26 - Dallas

“I didn’t understand debt and finances when I got my first credit card offer. Pretty soon I had four cards and a big load of debt. I struggled with repayment and didn’t know what to do. Bright gave me a clear and simple path to pay off my credit card debt and get back on track. No more missed payment because I forgot, no more trying to decide how much to pay this month. It’s seamless and I don’t have to think about it. I’ve already paid off three cards and I’m closing in on my fourth - and now I’m starting to work on my savings.”

Brian, 33 - Jacksonville

“I was always somebody who handled his money well. Then the pandemic hit, I lost my job, and I panicked. I was missing payments on six credit cards and the late fees were building up. With Bright, I can use my cards normally and Bright makes the monthly payments automatically. No more late fees and the balances always going down. It doesn’t sound like a big deal, but it’s made a big difference. I love getting the ‘minimum payment made’ notification - I know that my debt is on its way down. and my credit’s on its way up.”
