The credit union motto is, “Not for profit, not for charity, but for service.”
Justice for Me is a FinTech CUSO bridging the “Justice Gap” by removing the financial obstacles that prevent attorneys and clients from connecting.
Justice For Me partners with Credit Unions for several reasons. Firstly, we are both mission driven organizations. Secondly, JFM’s clients match credit union clients in many aspects, from location to demographics to income levls. Finally, Credit Unions also are the financial institutions that our attorneys depend upon.
We originate credit lines for clients enabling them to pay their attorney bills over time and avoid large upfront retainers. We pay attorneys’ bills quickly less our service fee and provide clients with flexible payment terms as well as a 12-month no interest option.
We help members find an attorney without fear of a large layout of cash. We help attorneys assist more people and get out of the credit and collections business. We help credit unions build their member base and portfolio.
Every Stakeholder contributes and every stakeholder benefits and together we can bridge the justice gap.
