Who we are
Local roots. Here to stay.
People Trust was founded on a simple belief: fair credit and a safe place for your money should reach every neighborhood.
In Arkansas, 9.7% of households have no bank account and 22.6% are underbanked. Payday lending is banned here, and many low-income neighborhoods still have few places to borrow fairly.
Since 2016 we've lent to those communities as a Treasury-certified CDFI. Now we're adding accounts that hold US dollars and USDC, so members can save, send and spend at internet speed.
How a loan fund became a financial home
We got certified
The U.S. Treasury CDFI Fund certified People Trust as a community lender in 2016.
We stayed fair
Loans at 10% with terms up to 60 months. Never a payday lender.
We modernized
Member accounts hold US dollars and USDC, with bank connections through Plaid.
We're launching
USDC savings and a stablecoin Visa card, all in one place.
Digital dollars, for every neighborhood.
Every product shows its real status, so you always know what you can use today.

The People Trust difference
Fair, by default.
We don't start with a product to sell you. We start with what you need to get stable, then build from there.
Never predatory
We have never been a payday lender.
Verified and protected
We verify every member's identity, confirm every withdrawal with your password, and you can add a sign-in code by text or email.
Held with care
USDC is held in custody with BitGo. Bank links run through Plaid.
Owned by the mission
A nonprofit 501(c)(3) that answers to the community it serves.

How the money moves
Dollars in. Digital dollars out.
USDC is a stablecoin built to stay worth one US dollar. Wire in dollars, convert them, and send USDC to your wallet or your Tangem Pay card.
Card partner · Tangem Pay
Spend USDC anywhere Visa works.
Tangem Pay is a Visa card inside the Tangem app. You pay with USDC, and the store is paid in regular currency. Top it up with USDC on Polygon straight from your People Trust account. Add it to Apple Pay or Google Pay.
Tangem Pay is provided by Tangem and its partners, not People Trust. We may earn a referral fee when you sign up through our link.
