Relief Secures Strategic Backing from National Debt Relief to Scale AI-Powered Resolution Platform
Relief is a debt relief platform that negotiates with creditors to reduce balances and create affordable payment plans, helping users lower their payments and become debt-free faster.
Relief, an AI-powered debt resolution platform, has announced a strategic investment from National Debt Relief (NDR), the largest debt settlement company in the United States. As reported by Yahoo Finance, this new growth round supports both a commercial partnership and platform expansion to meet rising consumer demand for streamlined, tech-enabled debt relief.
Founded by Jason Saltzman, Bryan Okeke, and Ram Berrouet, Relief has enrolled over 150,000 users through its mobile platform since going public, representing more than $7.6 billion in unsecured consumer debt. The company’s app helps users navigate credit card balances, personal loans, and student debt with digital tools designed to simplify negotiation, guidance, and settlement—all powered by AI.
A Strategic Partnership to Accelerate Impact
With NDR now onboard as both investor and partner, Relief is positioned to deepen its offering by integrating negotiated settlements and real-time resolution offers directly into the app. Consumers will gain access to more personalized and immediate options for exiting debt, guided by a mix of automation, AI, and human support.
This partnership reflects a broader shift in the debt relief industry toward scalable, digital-first solutions. According to the announcement, Relief aims to become the “digital infrastructure layer for consumer debt resolution at scale.”
Expanding the Platform Beyond Settlement
The new funding will also support the development of additional product lines. Relief plans to introduce features that provide users with customized, actionable debt pathways based on individual financial profiles.
Relief describes itself as “the first consumer debt resolution app powered by AI and built for scale.” Backed by top-tier investors and now aligned with the country’s largest settlement provider, the company is doubling down on its mission to make debt resolution faster, smarter, and more accessible.
