SAN MATEO, Calif., Nov. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Achieve, the leader in digital personal finance, announces the Nov. 7 close of a AAA-rated securitization comprised of approximately $186.4 million in rated notes backed by Achieve Acceleration Loans.

Achieve Acceleration Loans are an invitation-only product offered exclusively to members of Achieve's debt relief program and those of certain other legal services providers who have been enrolled for at least six months and have made timely payments into their dedicated accounts during that time.

"Achieve Acceleration Loans help consumers get a fresh start by speeding up the process of consolidating and resolving existing debt," said Achieve Co-Founder and Co-CEO Andrew Housser.

The loans are originated by a bank partner on the Achieve Personal Loans platform.
