Augie Partners With BrightDime to Support Employee Credit Building

New offering helps employers support financial well-being with no-fee, no-interest credit card solution

NEW YORK, May 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Employers are increasingly seen as key players in their employees' financial well-being. With 83% of workers reporting that financial stress affects their productivity, and more than 80% saying their employer should play a role in improving financial health, leading workforce platforms are stepping up.

BrightDime has partnered with Augie to offer employees a new kind of credit-building benefit. The Augie Card is a no-fee, no-interest credit card with no security deposit required. Linked directly to a user's bank account, the card reports on-time payments for recurring bills, such as subscriptions, to major credit bureaus. This helps users build or improve their credit profiles by paying for expenses they already have.

BrightDime provides employers with financial wellness and career development tools. By integrating Augie into their offerings, they are expanding beyond education and into accessible, everyday financial solutions.

“At BrightDime, we’re committed to solutions that truly serve employees living paycheck to paycheck—and Augie delivers,” said Katie Rapley, Director of Marketing at BrightDime. “It’s a smarter, safer way to build credit with no fees, no interest, and no hidden traps. This kind of innovation is exactly what the future of financial wellness should look like.” 

"Augie is building strategic partnerships to reach people where they spend most of their time – at work," said Paul Harkins, co-founder of Augie. "We're creating a way to build credit that puts consumers back in control, and we'll continue expanding access to anyone who can benefit from the Augie Card."
