Happy Money Launches as the Only Financial Company Combining Psychology and Money to Help People Live Happier Lives

COSTA MESA, Calif.-- Today, Payoff announces the launch of Happy Money, a new financial company innovating at the intersection of psychology and money with the goal of helping people live happier lives.

Happy Money is built on the premise that a person’s unique psychology is the best predictor of their financial behavior and key to improving their financial health. Combining psychological data with traditional financial data provides a more complete picture of a person. With this insight, Happy Money’s team of psychologists and neuroscientists set out to develop a more human approach to the delivery of financial products and experiences to help people live happier lives.

“Happy Money is our mission described in two words. It’s the best way to explain what we’re doing and where we’re going. Everything we do starts with people and understanding their unique psychology. We co-develop products and experiences with people, meeting them where they are to help maximize their happiness along the way,” says Scott Saunders, Founder and CEO of Happy Money. Happy Money’s products, Payoff and Joy, both follow this more human, psychology-first model and offer approachable solutions for achieving financial well-being, and ultimately, bringing people more happiness.

Payoff, the loan specifically designed to help pay off credit cards, was launched in 2015. It offers a simple, straightforward and attainable way to eliminate credit card debt. This singular focus has resulted in best-in-class portfolio performance with industry-leading low default rates and an NPS of 82. To date, Payoff has over 11,000 members and has helped people pay off over $175M of credit card debt.

Joy, a first-of-its-kind mobile app, helps people rethink the way they spend and save money through a psychology-based approach that involves rating purchases and daily saving suggestions. The app also offers people a free, FDIC-insured Joy Savings Account. Joy is set to officially launch later this month on iOS and has over 25,000 people on a waitlist to try the app.

In addition to Saunders, Happy Money’s board members include Bob Allison, founder of Innovate Partners; Joe Saunders, former CEO of Visa; Matt Wilson, former CFO of Happy Money; and Sean Park, founder of Anthemis Group.

Additional information on Happy Money can be found at www.HappyMoney.com.

Happy Money is the only financial company that combines psychology and money to help people live happier lives. Happy Money believes in long-term relationships with people, meeting them at every stage of their financial life, and maximizing their happiness along the way. Happy Money is composed of financial services professionals, research and clinical psychologists, data scientists, neuroscientists, designers, and technology experts, all working together to provide three primary experiences: Joy, Payoff and the Happy Money Score.

Joy Connects Your Spending and Saving Behavior to Happiness Without the Judgment.

COSTA MESA, Calif.-- Happy Money, the leading financial company innovating at the intersection of psychology and money to help people live happier lives, today announced the launch of Joy – a new iOS app that changes the way people think about, spend and save money through a personalized experience shaped by an individual's psychology and financial behaviors.

Joy and its team of clinical psychologists and neuroscientists recognized a person’s psychological makeup and personality directly affect how they spend and save money. They also found a void in the market — no one had created a product to address this. “Through our research, we’ve heard countless times that talking about money is overwhelming to a lot of people and financial apps out there are one-size-fits-all and naturally judgmental. Joy is the first app that doesn’t judge you, but instead embraces you for who you are and what makes YOU happy,” says Scott Saunders, founder and CEO of Happy Money.

With this new psychology-based approach to money, Joy features bespoke elements specifically designed to drive awareness of how spending is connected to happiness, and to encourage people to build savings with daily savings recommendations. “Joy puts happiness at the epicenter of spending, and for millennials, happiness is the bottom line,” says professor Elizabeth Dunn, Ph.D., Joy’s Scientific Advisor and author of Happy Money: The Science of Happier Spending. “Joy provides an alternative approach to looking at how you spend. It’s not about how much money is in your account, it’s about how much happiness there is in your life.”

Personalized Money Coach: Joy delivers a person-centric experience with an undeniably approachable and non-judgmental tone. To achieve this, Joy’s scientists have developed in-app assessments that identify the user’s financial personality and assign one of four money coaches tailored to fit the specific needs of that individual. Each coach has been designed to support a growing awareness of happiness, spending and saving behavior with the goal of beneficial habit formation.

Buying More Happiness: With Joy, there is a new way to think about spending: spend more on what makes you happy and less on what makes you sad – what Joy calls, “happy spends” and “sad spends.” The app prompts users to rate purchases, helping them recognize spending habits and focus more on what brings long-term happiness.

Free Savings Account and Daily Saves: Joy helps people save more money by providing behavior-based daily savings recommendations as well as a free FDIC-insured savings account. The app identifies a daily savings amount based on income data and spending habits, then prompts the user to make that save via their Joy Savings Account. This actively enables the person to recognize daily savings opportunities and build savings, helping to decrease overall stress, increase happiness, and promote a sense of ownership over their financial future.

Happy Money Introduces Partner-Branded Program to Help Credit Unions Drive Lending and Membership Growth

New capability enables institutions to offer personal loans under their brand, powered by Happy Money’s multichannel marketing engine and end-to-end lending platform

TORRANCE, Calif.— March 2, 2026— Happy Money, a leading consumer finance company dedicated to empowering people to achieve their goals through responsible lending, today announced the launch of its Partner-Branded Program, which includes partner-branded marketing and embedded delivery capabilities. This program enables financial institutions to offer personal loans to their members and reach new borrowers using the strength of their brand, while Happy Money manages marketing and the full lending lifecycle end-to-end. 

As membership growth slows and acquisition costs rise, Happy Money’s Partner-Branded Program enables institutions to scale without building new marketing or lending infrastructure. The program leverages Happy Money’s performance marketing engine and lending platform, Hive, to drive member loyalty and growth within an institution’s footprint. 

Building on a multi-year collaboration with Happy Money, MSU Federal Credit Union (MSUFCU) has deployed the program to fuel lending and member growth. Through a multichannel approach — including direct mail, email, affiliates, digital media and embedded experiences — the Partner-Branded Program enables MSUFCU to engage existing members, reach new borrowers within its footprint and generate high-yield, short-duration assets supported by Happy Money’s disciplined underwriting and servicing. 


“Over the past four years, Happy Money has been a strong partner in helping us grow lending in a way that reflects how we serve our members,” said Ami Iceman Haueter, Chief Experience Officer for MSUFCU. “The Partner-Branded Program gives us a new opportunity to deepen relationships in our community while increasing access to personal loans designed to help members achieve their goals.”

The Partner-Branded Program expands how institutions can work with Happy Money, complementing existing nationwide origination and participation programs. By leveraging their brand to engage existing and potential members through partner-branded marketing and embedded delivery, institutions can grow lending portfolios, deepen member relationships and reach new borrowers within their footprint, with minimal operational lift and no marketing cost. 


“Institutions are increasingly focused on growth that strengthens relationships, not just volumes,” said Matt Tomko, Chief Revenue Officer of Happy Money. “Our Partner-Branded Program enables institutions to meaningfully serve their communities, driving loyalty and engagement with their brand backed by the strength of our marketing and lending platform.”

How Does Happy Money’s Partner-Branded Program Work?

The Partner-Branded Program enables institutions to offer personal loans within their branded experience while Happy Money manages acquisition, underwriting, credit decisioning, origination and servicing end-to-end through its lending platform, Hive. Through this program, institutions can engage existing members and reach new borrowers within their communities through targeted multichannel marketing.

Does this require new marketing investment?

No. Happy Money manages acquisition strategy and execution, allowing institutions to expand lending and deepen member relationships without incremental marketing spend or operational buildout.

Marketing dynamically balances partner and Happy Money brand presence based on performance insights, collaborating closely with partners to ensure alignment with each institution’s goals, member experience priorities and risk thresholds.

Powered by its lending platform, Hive, Happy Money manages the full lending lifecycle from acquisition through servicing — applying disciplined credit execution and driving consistent asset performance through economic cycles.

The Partner-Branded Program is available to credit unions, banks and other financial institutions seeking efficient, scalable lending growth. The program is designed to help institutions expand lending portfolios, acquire new borrowers, deepen member relationships and generate high-yield, short-duration assets aligned with their growth strategies.

Happy Money is a consumer finance company that empowers people to achieve their goals through simple, transparent loans funded by trusted financial institutions. Through its proprietary lending platform, Hive, Happy Money delivers a fully digital experience that simplifies borrowing for consumers and helps credit unions, banks and asset managers diversify balance sheets and scale with confidence.

Company grew nearly 5x over past year, adds veteran financial services and risk management executive to support next phase of growth

TORRANCE, Calif.— (PR Newswire) May 27, 2026— Happy Money, a consumer finance company dedicated to empowering people to achieve their goals, has surpassed $7 billion in cumulative loan originations, helping more than 350,000 Americans pay down credit card debt and save an estimated $1 billion in interest. To support the company's next phase of growth, Happy Money has appointed veteran financial services executive Tim Parsons as Chief Risk & Analytics Officer.

Demand is rising for Happy Money's fixed-rate personal loans as revolving credit card balances at record APRs squeeze household budgets. With Americans carrying close to $1.3 trillion in credit card debt, personal loans offer an alternative with a defined payoff date and a predictable monthly payment. Institutional appetite for this consumer credit asset class is also growing, reflected in recent partnerships with organizations such as Edge Focus and TruMark Financial Credit Union. 

Parsons will help build on this growth and shape Happy Money's next chapter. He brings more than 25 years of consumer and small business lending experience, with deep expertise in credit risk, operations, pricing and capital markets. Parsons previously served as COO and then CEO of Sunlight Financial. As COO he led risk, pricing and operations; supported the platform's rapid growth and eventual IPO; and developed strategic relationships with credit unions, banks and institutional capital providers. Earlier, he held senior leadership positions at Citigroup, overseeing a $15 billion consumer credit portfolio. At Happy Money, Parsons leads enterprise risk, credit strategy, pricing and analytics, with a focus on supporting capital markets capabilities, and driving sustainable growth and product expansion.

"I'm honored to join Happy Money's proven credit and risk organization," said Parsons. "Together, we will continue to sharpen how we use data and AI to assess risk faster and more precisely, allowing us to responsibly extend lower-cost credit to more borrowers without compromising the discipline that defines this team."

Happy Money connects borrowers with credit card debt consolidation loans funded by banks, credit unions and asset managers. Its proprietary platform, Hive, runs the full loan lifecycle across underwriting, origination, servicing and capital delivery, giving borrowers a fully digital experience and offering its funding partners turnkey access to a high-performing consumer credit asset class.

"Reaching $7 billion is an important milestone, but the 350,000 people we've helped pay off high-interest credit card debt is the more meaningful number," said Matt Potere, Chief Executive Officer of Happy Money. "Over the past year, we've grown originations nearly 400%, expanded our product offerings, deepened our capital partnerships and continued to build a more automated, AI-native operating model. This is an ideal time to welcome Tim to Happy Money, and I'm confident his deep credit and risk management experience will help fuel our growth, enabling us to broaden our product set and help even more people make progress on their financial goals."

Happy Money's end-to-end loan origination and participation programs provide partners with turnkey access to high-performing assets, underpinned by disciplined credit expertise and robust risk management. Together with its lending partners, Happy Money has originated more than $7 billion in loans to help over 350,000 people take greater control of their financial futures.
