Ken Rees, CEO of Elevate, to Speak at Money 20/20 Conference


Ken Rees, Chief Executive Officer at Elevate, a leading tech-enabled provider of innovative and responsible online credit solutions for non-prime consumers, will speak on a panel at the Money 20/20 conference in Las Vegas on October 24, 2017. The panel will focus on the future of alternative lending, including fintech's potential to partner with banks to create better outcomes for both parties. The panel will also tackle the challenges that alternative lenders face now, and how to use innovation and creative solutions to address them.

Elevate is an online lender that has originated $4.5 billion in credit to more than 1.7 million non-prime consumers. It has saved customers more than $2 billion versus the cost of payday loans.

It's more important than ever for firms like Elevate to address the needs of credit-constrained Americans who need access to credit to make ends meet. These Americans, the "New Middle Class," are doing their best to improve their financial lives, but can't make progress due to a lack of access to necessary financial services. Elevate aims to address this problem, beginning with affordable and responsible credit products and financial health and literacy tools.

Mr. Rees will draw from Elevate's experience working with the New Middle Class to share insights on how to create practical solutions for America's most underserved consumers. Rees will be joined on the panel by representatives from SoFi, Upstart and Oakam.

Hosted in Las Vegas each year, Money 20/20 is the premier conference for the payments and fintech industries, with 11,000+ attendees from more than 4,500 ompanies expected at this year's event. A global audience of leaders, including 1,700 CEOs and company presidents representing 85 countries will gather to network, explore business opportunities and raise awareness of their news and missions among their peers.
