Relief is letting people know there is a better way to handle their debt
In less than a month Squid Game is on track to become Netflix’s most streamed show of all time and has become the only thing anyone is talking about. But for the 7 people who haven’t yet seen it, the series centres on a contest where 456 players who are deeply in debt play deadly games for the chance to win a large sum of money. These cash-strapped contestants are secretly invited to the game through a cryptic card with three shapes and a phone number on the back.
Relief has recreated the iconic Squid Game card and placed 10,000 of them around the city centres of New York and Miami. Not to invite those behind on their credit card payments to play a twisted game, but instead to let them know there’s a better way to get back on track. Relief is an app that eliminates credit card debt. The app uses AI and collective bargaining to reduce balances and help users become debt-free faster.

U.S. credit card debt has recently hit a record high of $930 billion with younger Americans having the highest delinquency rate. And with the loss of over 22 million jobs as result of the pandemic, that number isn’t getting any smaller. In order to help Americans tackle their debt, we need real solutions, not pay day loans and more credit cards that add to the problem. Relief eliminates debt by working with creditors to actually reduce what people owe.
