CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa,
Feb. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- TaxAct
has forged a strategic partnership with Credible.com, a consumer
finance marketplace that helps millennials explore their options
for refinancing student loans and other debt at lower interest
rates, and make smarter decisions about borrowing.
As part of the integration, TaxAct customers who elect to create
BluPrint™ financial health assessments can use the Credible.com
marketplace to find more information about opportunities to
potentially benefit from refinancing student loans at lower
interest rates. TaxAct customers who are informed in their BluPrint
reports that they can refinance at lower rates, or qualify for
personal loans, may now access the Credible.com marketplace to view
actual rates from multiple lenders for which they are
pre-qualified.
"A customer's tax return isn't just a tax document. It reveals
many clues about the customer's complete financial health and
wellness, which we can help them evaluate in order to identify
opportunities and vulnerabilities—and how to properly address
them," said Sanjay Baskaran,
President of TaxAct. "As an objective third party that brings
lenders and borrowers together, Credible.com can play a valuable
role in educating TaxAct's customers about student loan repayment
and personal loan opportunities that offer the best terms for
improving their individual financial situations."
San Francisco-based Credible
(Credible.com) serves as a transparent online marketplace where
borrowers can receive competitive and personalized rates from
multiple lenders in real time. More than 650,000 consumers have
used the Credible.com marketplace to securely obtain and compare
rate information for private student loans, student loan
refinancing, and personal loans that are often used to consolidate
credit card debt at lower interest rates.
"Credible.com has helped save borrowers more than $165 million in interest to date," said
Stephen Dash, founder and CEO of
Credible.com. "We are pleased to be able to help TaxAct
customers evaluate options without impacting their credit and then
help them close their loan once they choose a lender."
TaxAct's BluPrint report can also identify financial health
opportunities for customers in areas such as retirement savings,
life insurance, and high-yield checking. Learn more about the
