The Challenge
Declining incomes, growing debt, and high costs of education, homeownership and healthcare are combining to make this generation the first to not surpass the living standards of their parents.
The 3-Part Solution
Cred Edge helps solve this problem in three distinct ways:
In-School Education
We send volunteers from the financial sector into schools to speak with students about their credit and finances so when they graduate they are equipped with the information and resources they need to be in the best possible position with the debt they’ll accumulate after high school.

Real World Practices
We use shocking statistics and real world experiences to reveal how bad financial decisions now affect us seven years into the future. We show first-hand accounts of people who didn’t take credit and loans seriously early on, and what they are going through years later because of it. We then provide students with techniques that can be used to avoid those situations while at the same time allowing them to build and maintain high credit scores. More about Real World Practices Here
On-going Sponsoring & Support
We follow up with the students we reach out to in an attempt to point them in the right direction once they are faced with decisions that will bring on debt. Whether it is credit cards or student loans, we know where to get them the help they need. More about On-Going Sponsoring & Support here
