Zirtue: Lend & Borrow Money 5.5.4

Remember the last time money and loved ones mixed? Yeah – us too. It’s no secret that borrowing or lending money with someone you care about can make things… weird.

With Zirtue, you can manage your money and your relationships all in one place. We make IOUs with a friend or family member far less awkward. Here’s how:

• Transparency: Details of the loan and the repayment plan are clearly broken down for complete clarity.
• Billpay: Money goes straight to a bill-pay service partner and not the borrower’s pockets.
• Flexibility: Set up auto-repay with a plan that works for you – not against you.
• Relationships: Helping you set up a plan so you can focus on your relationship instead.

Download the app to create an IOU with someone you trust and get your bills paid – without the awkwardness. There are no fees, no interest, and the money goes straight to a bill-pay service partner to pay for bills.

With Zirtue you can…

• Avoid loan sharks and sky-high interest.
• Borrow money without a negative impact on your credit score.
• Create a repayment plan that works for you (from 3 months - 36 months).

Get your bills paid in 3 simple steps:

1. Sign up - Open a free Zirtue account and verify your identity.
2. Connect your bill - Connect your bill using your provider’s account number.
3. Request and repay - Send the IOU request to someone you trust. Pay them back on your terms with Auto-pay.

So, there’s really no interest?

Nope! The Interest paid to your lender (friend, family member, or trusted peer) is 0% APR. So, if you borrow $1,000 over a 10-month period with no interest (0%), your monthly payments would be $100 per month with a total loan cost of $1,000.

How it’s working for Jane (an example based on a true story)…

Jane hit a tough spot financially and came home to her utility bill in the mail – $350. If she didn’t pay in full, her services would’ve been cut off. She considered going to a payday lender or getting a cash advance, but the interest rates would’ve left her worse off. She figured her mom would help her. So, she used Zirtue to borrow the money and set up a repayment plan with her mom. Through Zirtue, Jane is repaying the $350 over a 10-month period with no interest (0%) at $35/month. So, Jane’s total loan cost is still just $350.

The fine print:

Zirtue itself is not a lender. Zirtue is the world’s first relationship-based, peer-to-peer lending application with direct payments to creditors. Zirtue simplifies loans between friends, family, and trusted relationships by turning informal promises into structured agreements with an automated repayment process. There are no fees to use Zirtue. Both the lender and borrower must agree on loan terms.
