Adrian Nazari founded Credit Sesame after the last financial crisis to help consumers improve their financial health by giving them free access to their credit score for the first time ever. At the time, the major credit bureaus charged consumers as much as $10 each time they wanted to see their own credit data. After months of negotiating and advocating for consumer transparency, Adrian secured a contract with one of the credit bureaus to provide free credit scores to consumers—a groundbreaking milestone and the spark of a new era of personal finance that empowers consumers to take charge of their own financial health.
