This innovative protection enables Grid to help enrolled customers’ cover essential expenses, preserve their credit and focus on finding a new job in the event of a layoff.

Grid is a consumer financial services platform in the US, offering clients early wage access, early access to tax refunds, credit-building tools, and rewards via their popular mobile app. “With Grid Income Protection, we help and support our customers when they need a financial boost the most,” Edward Chung, Grid CEO says, “The $2,000 benefits will help our customers by reducing the stress and anxiety while they’re between jobs. The overall goal of our program is to prevent late payments, credit defaults and hits to their hard-won, improved credit scores when they are laid off.”

Harmonic’s expertise in digital insurance led to connecting Grid with MIC Global to create this partnership. 

“We help businesses grow by providing microinsurance programs that make life easier for their customers,” Andrew Drake, Founder & CEO of Harmonic Insurance Services explains, “Today’s economy presents lots of uncertainty for American workers. Grid’s Income Protection can ease anxiety and provide a safety net for the vulnerable.”

The Plateau Group is an insurance holding company that provides insurance solutions to the financial services industry and their customers. MIC Global delivers their MiIncome digital protection product to Grid through a partnership with The Plateau Group. Plateau has been instrumental in the launch of Grid’s product offering.

“Plateau’s focus is on delivering technically integrated and easily accessible financial protection solutions that meet the demands of today’s lenders and their consumers,” says Andrew Eller, The Plateau Group’s AVP Business and Product Development says, “MIC Global, Grid and Harmonic have been incredible to work with as we integrate these solutions into their platforms and workflows to empower their partners and customers.”

Together, MIC and Plateau are supporting Grid’s tech-enabled offering for when Grid’s customers are most financially vulnerable. MICology, part of the MIC Group of companies, provide the tech service that drives the benefit payment process, integrating seamlessly with the Grid platform via API and bringing fast AI-powered assessment and payments to Grid’s customers.

End-customers have the peace of mind that they will have money in their pocket to cover debts when the unexpected happens.
