The National Foundation for Credit Counseling (NFCC), a nonprofit provider of credit counselling and financial education services, and Piere, an AI-powered financial management app, have announced an expanded partnership aimed at improving consumer financial wellbeing.
The collaboration, which builds upon their initial partnership launched in June 2024, will empower consumers by integrating Piere’s budgeting capabilities into NFCC’s credit counselling services. This initiative is designed to offer more personalised financial guidance, streamline budgeting processes, and reduce the time consumers spend gathering financial information.
Under the pilot program, NFCC member agencies will have access to a co-branded version of the Piere app, enabling consumers to grant their counsellors permission to collaborate on their budgets. This feature will facilitate more tailored financial guidance and improve the overall effectiveness of counselling sessions.
Consumers will also benefit from Piere’s capabilities, such as monitoring debt management plans (DMPs), creating and maintaining personalised budgets, and sharing progress with their NFCC counsellors.
Additionally, consumers will have the option to upgrade to Piere’s premium version at a discounted rate through NFCC counselling providers. The premium features include advanced AI-driven budget recommendations, increased connectivity to multiple financial institutions, and customised financial reporting.
Mike Croxson, NFCC CEO, said, “This expansion of our partnership with Piere marks an exciting new phase in our Life Beyond Debt initiative. By providing our member agencies with these advanced tools and resources, we are equipping them to better support consumers in achieving their financial goals. This collaborative approach ensures that individuals have access to the guidance and support they need at every stage of their financial journey.”
Yuval Shuminer, founder and CEO of Piere, commented, “We are excited to expand our partnership with the NFCC as we enter the new year, when many consumers are thinking about financial resolutions for the upcoming year and how to balance their finances in an era of high cost of living. By integrating Piere’s advanced financial management tools with NFCC’s expert counseling services, we are providing a truly comprehensive solution for consumers seeking to take control of their financial lives.”
