Yesterday was the conclusion of Hispanic Heritage Month (HHM) and we want to thank our hOLA ERG who organized a series of educational and engaging virtual and in-person activities to honor and celebrate the history, culture, and contributions of the U.S. Latino community.

Some of the celebration highlights included a conversation with Tina Fernandez, fellow at Harvard Advanced Leadership Initiative, on Latinidad, a fireside chat on purpose-driven leadership with our CEO, Raul Vazquez, and a “Cafecito” (Spanish-language coffee chat) with Gonzalo Palacio, our Chief Marketing Officer. Additionally, our team members were able to engage in a meaningful dialogue on the “Growing Latino Economic Power” with Lyanne Alfaro, founder of Moneda Moves.

Many thanks to our team members who joined in on this celebration and participated in our guacamole recipe challenge during our in-person socials in our San Carlos and Frisco offices!

In her own words, Tushara Bharathi Bharati, a Sr. Validation Analyst, tells us what it has been like to develop her career and strike the right balance in her life while helping Oportun to better serve its members and financially-inclusive mission.

Oportun is committed to positively impacting the communities in which we live and serve. Last month, along with more than 300 of our colleagues around the world, we again put words into action through our annual Oportun Volunteer Week. For the 5th year running, we committed a theme of “Greener Together” wherein most of our projects were focused on promoting sustainability, ecological health, and environmental stewardship through volunteerism.

Across the United States, India, and Mexico, we participated in more than 25 virtual and in-person projects that positively impacted thousands of lives globally. We are also grateful to our partner HandsOn Bay Area for helping us bridge to service projects in our own communities.

We appreciate the work everyone has done on this journey to solve the most pressing challenges in our communities, environmental or otherwise, and to pave a better path for this and our future generations.

Category Leader: Thrilled to report that Bankrate placed the Oportun app at #1 on a list of the “8 best money savings apps of 2023,” going on to say that Oportun is “Best for: Outsourcing savings decisions.” In our own words, that means Oportun does all the hard math, budgeting, and money transferring that present the sort of daily obstacles that inhibit many people from having adequate savings when they most need it. The net result is that the average Oportun Savings member has effortlessly set aside more than $1,800 in savings annually, even as Bankrate also reports that more than half of Americans do not have enough savings to cover an unplanned expense of $1,000. This is what impact at scale can look like.

We are proud to announce that the San Francisco Chronicle has named Oportun a Winner of the Greater Bay Area Top Workplaces 2023 Award. 

This award is particularly meaningful, as the list is based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by employee engagement technology partner Energage LLC.

As Energage CEO, Eric Rubino put it “Earning a Top Workplaces award is a badge of honor for companies, especially because it comes authentically from their employees.”
