Our founder's story

avatar of founder

Like many ideas, Refresh was conceived to solve a simple problem. The year was 2008. My wife and I were applying for financing to purchase our first home when the unexpected occurred. Our mortgage broker checked my credit and the beacon score was 525 due to an unpaid annual fee on a long-since cut up credit card.

This $75 outstanding fee had caused my credit to spiral. Luckily, the mortgage broker was able to convince the lender that I was still a sensible credit risk. However the experience got me to wonder how many people fall into this situation challenged to access credit, with no solution?

In an economy where more and more banks were either discontinuing their financial products, or merely turning away customers due to their bad credit, I wanted Refresh to be more about saying “yes” and helping Canadians transition into more affordable credit in the future. Since our beginnings, I believe Refresh is well on its way to helping more and more Canadians, and it is truly the thing that excites me about what we do at Refresh: providing a financial solution that truly helps the customer move forward to a bright financial future.
