PerkUp is an online financial health platform that supports employees’ financial well-being. It partners with large employers to give workers digital access to financial education, one-on-one coaching, and financial products through banks and credit union partners. Based in New Orleans, Louisiana, the organization appears to operate with a very small staff. Its model targets enterprise clients and their employees, addressing gaps in knowledge and access to appropriate financial tools. In August 2021, PerkUp announced a partnership with Kiva to facilitate loan matching in New Orleans, illustrating its collaboration-centric approach. Earlier, in late 2020, it worked with MetLife Investment Management and Washington University to study the effects of the pandemic on the finances of hospitality workers.
