WILMINGTON, Del. (August 22, 2022) — Marlette Holdings, Inc., a leading financial technology company operating the Best Egg financial platform, today announced financial results for the first half of 2022. The Best Egg platform experienced a record-breaking performance in the first half of 2022, with all-time highs in quarterly loan originations, revenue, and pre-tax operating income.
“Our strong performance in the first half of 2022 reflects our transformation from a single product to a multi-product platform,” said Jeffrey Meiler, CEO and Founder of Marlette Holdings. “In the first half of this year, we exceeded what we did last year, demonstrating positive momentum across the Best Egg platform. Our strategy of diversifying our offering is increasing value for our customers and putting us in a strong financial position and on track for long-term sustainable growth.”
Best Egg has seen tremendous growth over the past two years, accelerating to $21 billion in personal loan originations and 1.8 million accounts since the platform’s inception in March 2014. In the first half of 2022, Best Egg added more than 485,000 new consumer accounts across personal loans, credit cards, and financial health and saw a sharp increase in customers using multiple Best Egg products. The Best Egg platform originated $4 billion in personal loans and generated $265 million in gross revenue, up more than 160% year over year.
“Our team’s determination to build financial confidence with our customers drives a relentless focus on understanding their needs using sophisticated human and machine insights. This vital information is allowing us to scale our products and services to provide more personalized and meaningful financial solutions for a growing number of people in the U.S. with limited savings,” said Jeffrey Meiler, CEO and Founder of Marlette Holdings.
