BUSINESS OVERVIEW
This report combines the Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for OneMain Holdings, Inc. (“OMH”), a publicly held financial service holding company, and its wholly owned direct subsidiary, OneMain Finance Corporation (“OMFC”). OMFC is the issuing entity of our outstanding public debt securities and all of OMFC’s common stock is owned by OMH. The information in this combined report is equally applicable to OMH and OMFC, except where otherwise indicated. OMH and OMFC are referred to in this report, collectively with their subsidiaries, whether directly or indirectly owned, as “the Company,” “OneMain,” “we,” “us,” or “our.”
As one of the nation’s leaders in offering nonprime consumers responsible access to credit, we:
• provide responsible personal loan products;
• offer credit card products;
• offer optional products;
• offer a customer-focused financial wellness program;
• service loans owned by us and third parties;
• pursue strategic acquisitions and dispositions of assets and businesses; and
• may establish joint ventures or enter into other strategic alliances.
We provide origination, underwriting, and servicing of personal loans. In addition, we offer two credit cards, BrightWay and BrightWay+, through a third-party bank partner from which we purchase the receivable balances. We believe we are well positioned for future growth with an experienced management team, proven access to the capital markets, and strong demand for consumer credit. At December 31, 2023, we had $21.3 billion of finance receivables due from approximately 2.8 million customer accounts. We also service personal loans for our whole loan sale partners. At December 31, 2023, we had $22.2 billion of managed receivables due from approximately 3.0 million customer accounts.
Our branch network of approximately 1,400 locations in 44 states is staffed with expert personnel and is complemented by our digital lending and servicing capabilities and central operations staff, which allow us to serve customers in person, digitally, and over the phone.
INDUSTRY AND MARKET OVERVIEW
We operate in the consumer finance industry serving consumers who have limited access to credit from banks, credit card companies, and other lenders. Using third party market data as of December 2023 and internally aligning to our current product offerings, we estimate U.S. nonprime consumers collectively have approximately $1.3 trillion of outstanding borrowings in the form of personal loans, auto loans and leases, and credit cards. We believe this large market provides us with an attractive growth opportunity.
Our national branch network and digital platform, combined with our central operational capabilities, provide an opportunity to serve this market efficiently and responsibly. In addition, our auto finance and credit card offerings continue to deepen our existing customer relationships, attract new customers, and further our vision to become the lender of choice for nonprime customers. We believe we are well-positioned to capitalize on the significant growth and expansion opportunity within our industry. See also “Competition” included in this report.
SEGMENT
Consumer and Insurance
At December 31, 2023, Consumer and Insurance (“C&I”) was our only reportable segment. We originate and service unsecured and secured personal loans, including auto finance, offer credit cards, and provide optional credit and non-credit insurance and other optional products through our branch and central operations, as well as our digital platform. Personal loan origination and servicing, credit cards, and insurance products form the core of our operations.

Our insurance business is conducted through our wholly owned insurance subsidiaries, American Health and Life Insurance Company (“AHL”) and Triton Insurance Company (“Triton”). AHL is a life and health insurance company licensed in 49 states, the District of Columbia, and Canada to write credit life, credit disability, and non-credit insurance products. Triton is a property and casualty insurance company licensed in 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Canada to write credit involuntary unemployment, credit disability, and collateral protection insurance. See Note 10 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II - Item 8 in this report for further information on our insurance business.
Products and Services. Our personal loan business comprises products and services that have performed well through various market conditions. Our personal loans are non-revolving, with a fixed rate, have fixed terms generally between three to six years, and are secured by automobiles, other titled collateral, or are unsecured. Our loans have no pre-payment penalties. Credit cards are open-ended, revolving, with a fixed rate, and are unsecured.
We also offer optional credit insurance products to our customers, including credit life insurance, credit disability insurance, and credit involuntary unemployment insurance. Credit life insurance insures the borrower’s life, paying the outstanding finance receivable upon the borrower’s death. Credit disability insurance provides scheduled monthly loan payments during borrower’s disability, while credit involuntary unemployment insurance provides scheduled monthly loan payments during involuntary unemployment. Our other optional products primarily consist of traditional term life policies, optional membership plans from an unaffiliated company and Guaranteed Asset Protection (“GAP”) coverage, to cover the shortfall between the customer’s auto loan balance and the payment amount made by the customer’s primary auto insurance.
We require collateral protection insurance, at the customer’s expense, when they fail to maintain required insurance on property pledged as collateral for the finance receivable, that protects the value of that collateral.
We provide our customers financial wellness tools, free of charge. Trim by OneMain is a financial wellness platform intended to help improve our customers’ financial well-being. Some of the features currently offered include bill negotiation, subscription management, budgeting, and spend tracking.
Customer Development. We staff each of our branch locations with local well-trained personnel, including professionals who have significant experience in the industry. Our business benefits from an origination and servicing process that leverages our local community presence. Our customers often develop a relationship with their local office representatives, which we believe not only improves the credit performance of our personal loans but also improves customer loyalty and the longer-term relationship.
We solicit customers through a variety of channels, including but not limited to direct mail offers, affiliate partners, targeted online advertising, search engines, and e-mail. We use proprietary modeling, along with data purchased from credit bureaus, alternative data providers, and our existing data/experience to acquire and develop new and profitable customer relationships.
Our digital platform allows current and prospective customers the ability to apply for and close a personal loan online, at www.onemainfinancial.com . Our digital user experience includes video, chat, and co-browsing with customers. These tools simplify and optimize the customer experience.
We offer borrowers an option to close remotely through our digital platform without coming into a branch location. Our applications, regardless of whether they are completed in person, over the phone, or online, go through our best-in-class underwriting processes, including an ability-to-pay assessment, monthly budgeting, income verification, and central automated credit decisioning. Our goal is to continue to improve the way we serve our customers and extend responsible credit, so customers are able to repay their loans.
Credit Risk. Credit quality is driven by our long-standing underwriting philosophy, which considers a prospective customer’s willingness and capacity to repay the personal loan. We use credit risk scoring models at the time of the credit application to assess the applicant’s likelihood of repaying the loan. We develop these models using numerous factors, including past customer credit repayment experience, application data, and alternative data sources, while periodically revalidating these models based on recent portfolio performance. Our underwriting process for our personal loans also includes an assessment of the applicant’s income and expenses to ensure he or she has the capacity to repay the loan. We obtain a security interest in titled property for our secured personal loans.

Table of Contents
Our customers are primarily considered nonprime and therefore a higher credit risk, who often require significantly higher levels of servicing than prime customers. As a result, we generally charge these customers higher interest rates. We may extend the opportunity of a deferment and bring the customer current if they are experiencing a temporary financial hardship. We evaluate the borrower’s financial situation to ensure that it is temporary and the ability to resume monthly payments would be solved by the deferment. If we believe the borrower’s financial difficulties are not temporary, the account is evaluated for other methods of borrower assistance, such as modification of loan terms. A re-age may also be offered to assist delinquent customers who have experienced financial difficulties but have demonstrated both an ability and a willingness to repay their loan. After the re-age, the customer’s account status is brought current.
Account Servicing. Account servicing and collections for our finance receivables are handled at the branch location, in our central service centers, through our digital platform, or third-party servicers. Servicing and collection activity is conducted and documented on systems that log and maintain a permanent record of all transactions and may also be used to assess a customer’s application. The systems permit branch office management to review the individual and collective performance of branch locations for which they are responsible.
CENTRAL OPERATIONS
We continually seek to identify functions that could be more effective if centralized to achieve reduced costs or free our lending specialists to service our customers and market our products. Our central operational functions support the following:
• soliciting business;
• processing payments;
• originating personal loans;
• issuing and servicing optional products;
• servicing of certain delinquent personal loans;
• managing bankruptcy process for loans in Chapter 7, 11, and 13 proceedings;
• managing litigation requests against delinquent borrowers;
• tracking collateral protection insurance;
• repossessing and re-marketing of titled collateral;
• supervising sales and retention of customers; and
• managing charge-off recovery operations.
We currently have servicing facilities in Mendota Heights, Minnesota; Tempe, Arizona; London, Kentucky; Evansville, Indiana; Fort Mill, South Carolina; and Fort Worth, Texas. We believe these facilities position us for additional portfolio purchases and/or fee-based servicing, as well as additional flexibility in the servicing of our lending products.
OPERATIONAL CONTROLS
We continuously strive to strengthen our system of internal controls to ensure compliance with laws, rules, and regulations, and to improve the oversight of our operations. We evaluate internal systems, processes, and controls to mitigate operational risk and control and monitor our businesses through a variety of methods including the following:
• our operational policies and procedures that standardize various aspects of lending and collections;
• our branch finance receivable systems control loan size, interest rates, maturity dates, and fees of our customers’ accounts; create loan documents specific to the state in which the branch location operates or to the customer’s location if the loan is made electronically through our central operations; and control cash receipts and disbursements;
• our accounting personnel reconcile bank accounts, investigate discrepancies, and resolve differences;
• our credit risk management system reports allow us to track individual branch location performance and to monitor lending and collection activities;
• our cybersecurity incident response plan establishes a team that responds to cybersecurity incidents by identifying, evaluating, investigating, resolving, and remediating incidents impacting our information and information systems;
• our executive level reporting is available to headquarters and field operations management to review the status of activity through the close of business of the prior day;
12
Table of Contents
• our branch operations management structure, Regional Quality Coordinators, and Compliance Field Examination teams are designed to oversee a large, decentralized organization with succeeding levels of supervision and are staffed with experienced personnel;
• our branch and central operations compensation plans are based on credit quality and compliance, and are regularly reviewed for consistency with overall corporate goals and customer service;
• our compliance department assesses our compliance with applicable federal and state laws and regulations and our internal policies and procedures; oversees training to ensure team members have an understanding of such laws, regulations, policies, and procedures that impact their job responsibilities; and manages our regulatory examination process;
• our Executive Office of Customer Care maintains our consumer complaint resolution and reporting process; and
• our internal audit department audits our business for adherence to operational policies and procedures, and compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.
PRIVACY, DATA PROTECTION, AND CYBERSECURITY
Regulatory and legislative activity in the areas of privacy, data protection, and cybersecurity continues to increase worldwide. We have established policies and practices that provide a framework for compliance with applicable privacy, data protection, and cybersecurity laws and work to meet evolving customer expectations. Our regulators are increasingly focused on the adequacy of these policies and practices, including with respect to providing consumers with choices about how we use and share their information, and the processes we take to safeguard their personal information and account access.
Our consumer businesses are subject to the privacy, disclosure, and safeguarding provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLBA”) and Regulation P, which implements the GLBA. Among other things, the GLBA imposes certain limitations on our ability to share customers’ nonpublic personal information with nonaffiliated third parties and, pursuant to the Federal Trade Commission’s Safeguards Rule, requires us to develop, implement, and maintain a written comprehensive cybersecurity program containing safeguards that are appropriate to the size and complexity of our business, the nature and scope of our activities, and the sensitivity of customer information that we process. In December 2021 and October 2023, the Federal Trade Commission published amendments to its Safeguards Rule that prescribe more specific administrative and technical requirements for a financial institution’s cybersecurity program. Various states also have adopted laws, rules, and regulations pertaining to privacy and/or cybersecurity that may be as, or more stringent and expansive than federal requirements. These state laws include, but are not limited to, the California Consumer Privacy Act (as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020), the Oregon Consumer Privacy Act, and the New York Department of Financial Services (“NYDFS”) Cybersecurity Regulation. Certain of these requirements may apply to the personal information of our employees and contractors, as well as to our customers. Various U.S. federal, state, and territory regulators have also enacted, or are in the process of enacting, data security breach notification requirements that are applicable to us.
For further discussion on our cybersecurity risk management and strategy, see “Cybersecurity” in Part I - Item 1C. included in this report.
REGULATION
Federal Laws
Various federal laws and regulations govern credit origination, servicing, and collections, including:
• the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Dodd-Frank Act") (which, among other things, created the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau (“CFPB”));
• the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (which, among other things, prohibits discrimination against creditworthy applicants) and Regulation B, which implements this statute;
• the Fair Credit Reporting Act (which, among other things, governs the use of credit bureau reports and reporting information to credit bureaus) and Regulation V, which implements this statute;
• the Truth in Lending Act (which, among other things, governs disclosure of applicable charges and other terms of consumer credit) and Regulation Z, which implements this statute;
• the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (which, among other things, governs practices in collecting certain debts) and Regulation F, which implements this statute;
13
Table of Contents
• the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (which, among other things, governs the handling of personal financial information) and Regulation P, which implements this statute;
• the Military Lending Act (which, among other things, governs certain consumer lending to active-duty military servicemembers and their spouses and covered dependents, and limits the interest rate and certain fees, charges and premium they may be charged on certain loans);
• the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (which, among other things, can impose limitations on the interest rate and the servicer’s ability to collect on a loan originated with an obligor who is on active-duty status and up to nine months thereafter);
• the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (which regulates the making and servicing of closed end residential mortgage loans) and Regulation X, which implements this statute;
• the Federal Trade Commission’s Consumer Claims and Defenses Rule, also known as the “Holder in Due Course” Rule (which, among other things, allows a consumer to assert, against the assignees of certain credit contracts, certain claims that the consumer may have against the originator of the credit contracts); and
• the Federal Trade Commission Act (which, among other things, prohibits unfair and deceptive acts and practices).
The Dodd-Frank Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder have affected and are likely in the future to affect our operations in terms of increased oversight of financial services products by the CFPB and the imposition of restrictions on the terms of certain loans. Among regulations the CFPB has promulgated are mortgage servicing regulations that are applicable to the remaining real estate loan portfolio serviced by or for OneMain. The CFPB has significant authority to implement and enforce federal consumer finance laws, including the protections established in the Dodd-Frank Act, as well as the authority to identify and prohibit unfair, deceptive, and abusive acts and practices. In addition, under the Dodd-Frank Act, securitizations of loan portfolios are subject to certain restrictions and additional requirements, including requirements that the originator retain a portion of the credit risk of the securities sold and the reporting of buyback requests from investors. We also utilize third-party debt collectors and will continue to be responsible for oversight of their procedures and controls, as they pertain to our collection activities.
The CFPB has supervisory authority with respect to various federal consumer protection laws for some providers of consumer financial products and services, such as any nonbank that it has reasonable cause to determine has engaged or is engaging in conduct that poses risks to consumers with regard to consumer financial products or services. In addition to the authority to bring nonbanks under the CFPB’s supervisory authority based on risk determinations, the CFPB also has authority under the Dodd-Frank Act to supervise nonbanks, regardless of size, in certain specific markets, such as mortgage companies (including mortgage originators, brokers, and servicers) and payday lenders. Currently, the CFPB has supervisory authority over the Company as a mortgage servicer.
The Dodd-Frank Act also gives the CFPB supervisory authority over entities that are designated as “larger participants” in certain financial services markets, including the auto financing market and the consumer installment lending market. On June 30, 2015, the CFPB published its final rule for designating “larger participants” in the auto financing market. With the adoption of this regulation, we are considered a larger participant in the auto financing market and are subject to supervision and examination by the CFPB. In addition, in its Spring 2018 rulemaking agenda, the CFPB stated that it had decided to classify as “inactive” certain rulemakings previously identified in the expectation that the final decisions on proceeding will be made by the next permanent director. A larger-participant rule for consumer installment loans was one of the rulemaking initiatives designated as inactive. It is not known if or when the CFPB may consider reactivating the rulemaking process for the larger-participant rule for consumer installment loans.

Table of Contents
The investigation and enforcement provisions of Title X of the Dodd-Frank Act may adversely affect our business if the CFPB or one or more state attorneys general or state regulators believe that we have violated any federal consumer financial protection laws, including the prohibition in Title X against unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts or practices. The CFPB is authorized to conduct investigations to determine whether any person is engaging in, or has engaged in, conduct that violates federal consumer financial protection laws, and to initiate enforcement actions for such violations, regardless of its direct supervisory authority. Investigations may be conducted jointly with other regulators. The CFPB has the authority to impose monetary penalties for violations of federal consumer financial laws, require remediation of practices, and pursue administrative proceedings or litigation for violations of federal consumer financial laws (including the CFPB’s own rules). In these proceedings, the CFPB can obtain cease and desist orders (which can include orders for restitution or rescission of contracts, as well as other kinds of affirmative relief) and monetary penalties for violations of law, as well as reckless or knowing violations of federal consumer financial laws (including the CFPB’s own rules). Also, the Dodd-Frank Act empowers state attorneys general and state regulators to bring civil actions against state-chartered companies, among others, for enforcement of the provisions of Title X of the Dodd-Frank Act, including CFPB regulations issued under Title X, and to secure remedies provided under Title X or other law.
The Dodd-Frank Act also requires that a securitizer generally retain not less than 5% of the credit risk for certain types of securitized assets that are created, transferred, sold, or conveyed through issuance of asset-backed securities with an exception for securitizations that are wholly composed of “qualified residential mortgages.” The risk retention requirement has reduced the amount of financing typically obtained from our securitization transactions and has imposed compliance costs on our securitizations and costs with respect to certain of our financing transactions. With respect to each financing transaction that is subject to the risk retention requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act, we either retain at least 5% of the balance of each such class of debt obligations and at least 5% of the residual interest in each related VIE or retain at least 5% of the fair value of all ABS interests (as defined in the risk retention requirements), which is satisfied by retention of the residual interest in each related VIE, which, in each case, collectively, represents at least 5% of the economic interest in the credit risk of the securitized assets in satisfaction of the risk retention requirements.
State Laws
Various state laws and regulations also govern credit originations, servicing, and collections. Many states have laws and regulations that are similar to the federal laws referred to above, but the degree and nature of such laws and regulations vary from state to state. While federal laws preempt similar state laws in some instances, many times compliance with state laws and regulations is still required.
In general, these additional state laws and regulations, under which we conduct a substantial amount of our lending business:
• provide for state licensing and periodic examination of lenders and loan originators, including state laws adopted or amended to comply with licensing requirements of the federal Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act of 2008 (which, in some states, requires licensing of individuals who perform real estate loan modifications);
• require the filing of reports with regulators and compliance with state regulatory capital requirements;
• impose maximum term, amount, interest rate, and limit other charges;
• create consumer privacy rights and impose obligations on how we collect, process, store, and share certain information, and may require us to notify customers, employees, state attorneys general, regulators, and others in the event of a security breach;
• regulate whether and under what circumstances we may offer optional products in connection with a lending transaction; and
• provide for additional consumer protections.
There is a clear trend of increased state regulation on credit origination, servicing and collection, as well as more detailed reporting, more detailed examinations, and coordination of examinations among the states.
State authorities also regulate and supervise our insurance business. The extent of such regulation varies by product and by state, but relates primarily to the following:
• licensing;
• conduct of business, including marketing and sales practices;
• periodic financial and market conduct examination of the affairs of insurers;
15
Table of Contents
• form and content of required financial reports;
• standards of solvency;
• limitations on the payment of dividends and other affiliate transactions;
• types of products offered;
• approval of policy forms and premium rates;
• formulas used to calculate any unearned premium refund due to an insured customer;
• permissible investments;
• deposits of securities for the benefit of policyholders;
• reserve requirements for unearned premiums, losses, and other purposes; and
• claims processing.
Canadian Laws
The Canadian federal and provincial insurance regulators regulate and supervise the insurance made available to borrowers through a third-party Canadian lender. Its regulation and supervision relate primarily to the following:
• licensing;
• conduct of business, including marketing and sales practices;
• periodic financial and market conduct examination of the affairs of insurers;
• form and content of required financial reports;
• standards of solvency;
• limitations on the payment of dividends and other affiliate transactions;
• types of products offered; and
• reserve requirements for unearned premiums, losses, and other purposes.
COMPETITION
We operate in the consumer lending industry with a focus on serving the nonprime customer through our national branch network, central operations, affiliate partners, online, and over the phone.
There are numerous local, regional, and national competitors that seek to serve the non-prime consumers and that operate within our geographic network or over the internet offering similar products and services. Competition between lenders occurs primarily on the basis of customer experience, price, speed of service, flexibility of loan terms offered, and operational capability.
Our credit cards compete with many local, regional, and national issuers in the non-prime credit card industry. Competition between credit card issuers occurs primarily based on customer experience, price, credit availability, rewards programs, and service quality.
We believe that we possess several competitive strengths that allow us to compete effectively with other lenders in our industry. We utilize an omnichannel operating model, including a digital lending footprint and a branch network rooted in local communities. Our national branch network serves as a proven distribution channel. We also have proven analytics that allow us to have strong loss performance through economic cycles. We believe our deep understanding of local markets and customers, together with our proprietary underwriting process, sophisticated data analytics, and decisioning tools allow us to price, manage, and monitor risk effectively through changing economic conditions.

HUMAN CAPITAL
Overview
OneMain is dedicated to providing credit solutions to help hardworking Americans improve their financial well-being by offering products that are designed to be the starting point for their financial stability and growth. As of December 31, 2023, we had approximately 9,100 employees. Our commitment to help our community starts with our own team members. We believe in putting people first with a focus on recruiting, developing, and supporting our team members, and celebrating the communities in which we operate. We believe a diverse talent pool and inclusive work environment makes us stronger, helps us fulfill our Company’s mission, and connects us with the customers and communities we serve. Finally, we believe that integrity, transparency, and respect are at the heart of our success, and that these ethical values must inform every interaction we have with customers and with each other.
Diversity and Inclusion
We strive to recruit, train, and retain outstanding, diverse team members that believe in our mission, live our values, and go the extra mile for our customers. Our inclusive culture allows team members at all levels of the organization to further their careers and achieve both their personal and professional goals. Our Diversity Council is sponsored by our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Human Resources Officer. Council members represent a cross section of leadership in various roles and geographies who provide thought leadership and champion internal and external diversity initiatives in support of the organization. Our diversity strategy, which we treat as an important business priority, has three pillars: (i) hiring and retaining diverse talent, (ii) talent pipeline and progression, and (iii) creating a culture of inclusion. We partner with organizations, including Veteran Job Mission and Direct Employers Association, to help recruit a diverse workforce. All OneMain leaders and team members receive unconscious-bias training aimed at creating a positive, inclusive work environment.
We require diverse candidates (women or minorities) to be considered for all leadership roles. This commitment to diversity begins with the Board, whose membership includes 50% ethnic or racial minorities and 25% women. OneMain’s 2022 U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity (“EEO-1”) Report is available on our Investor Relations website, further demonstrating our commitment to accountability and transparency.
All managers are accountable for attracting and retaining high-quality, diverse talent, and creating a respectful, inclusive work environment as part of their goals and our leadership attributes. In addition, each year team members have the opportunity to provide candid feedback in an Employee Engagement Survey on how engaged they are and how enabled they feel in their roles at OneMain. As of December 31, 2023, 90% of team members participated in the annual Employee Engagement Survey.
Talent Retention and Development
We believe that motivated and engaged team members are more productive, innovative, and collaborative, which in turn helps consistently deliver an excellent customer experience. OneMain equips each team member at all levels of our organization with the tools and support, both personal and professional, to further their careers. We empower our employees to learn new skills, meet personalized development goals, and grow their careers. Team members are guided through their performance management with regular goal setting and coaching. OneMain conducts regular employee trainings, including Continuing Professional Education and leadership development at each level. OneMain maintains a Women’s Leadership Development program, a Diverse Talent Leadership program, and offers allyship training for managers. We also hold a virtual series of Day of Inclusion events and partner with PFLAG, an organization dedicated to supporting, educating, and advocating for LGBTQ+ people and their families, to offer Straight for Equality development sessions. We continue to invest in our employees and believe training and professional development is critical to maintaining our talent competitiveness and providing best-in-class service for our customers.
Compensation and Benefits
We offer a total rewards package, which includes competitive compensation, incentives, and comprehensive benefits that will attract, retain, and motivate talent within our organization. Our compensation and benefits package includes competitive pay, healthcare, retirement benefits, as well as paid time off and holidays, parental leave, disability benefits, military leave, and paid development and volunteer time off, along with other benefits and employee resources.

Human Rights
OneMain recognizes our responsibility to help protect and promote human rights, and we strive to meet our responsibility to respect human rights with our team members, customers, and the communities we serve. A copy of our Human Rights Statement is available on our Investor Relations website.
IMPACT
Our Impact strategy is guided by three priorities reflecting our commitment to social responsibility: building trust and strong relationships with our stakeholders, providing responsible credit solutions, and contributing to our communities through education, financial wellness, and volunteerism.
Our approach to Impact is a natural extension of our mission to continue to support and improve the financial well-being of our customers, communities, and team members. We are mindful of challenges faced by our customers and continue to prioritize offering them support through our borrower assistance programs. We also contributed to support financial literacy, community and economic development, food insecurity, and disaster relief initiatives.
Our Impact Executive Council consists of a diverse group of senior executives, appointed by the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), reporting directly to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board on Impact issues. These senior executives each hold responsibility for different Impact workstreams. The increased oversight by these leaders reflects the Company’s commitment to monitoring Impact matters and risks for potential effects on the Company and the consumer lending industry, as well as potential opportunities that we may gain through proactive identification of Impact issues.
In June 2021, OMFC issued its inaugural Social Bond, with the net proceeds committed to serving credit-disadvantaged communities around the country. Furthermore, at least 75% of the loans funded by the Social Bond are allocated to women or minority borrowers as outlined in OneMain’s Social Bond Framework. In April 2022, OMFC completed its first social securitization in which we issued notes backed by personal loans made to individuals with mailing addresses containing zip codes in rural communities, with 75% of such loans made to borrowers with annual net income of $50,000 or less. Our social debt issuances reinforce our commitment to financial inclusion and providing underrepresented communities with access to safe, affordable credit. They also provide concrete and measurable funding vehicles to advance the Company’s Impact program. Additional information regarding our Social Bonds and Social Bond Framework is available on our Investor Relations website.
We continue to advance our mission to improve the financial well-being of hardworking Americans, particularly those in underserved communities. In 2022, we made a $50 million commitment to support minority depository institutions and a military veteran owned and operated investment bank supporting job placement and transition services for veterans.
As part of our commitment to financial wellness, Credit Worthy by OneMain Financial is a $4 million commitment with strategic partner EVERFI, a global social-impact technology provider, to develop and distribute free, digital financial education to high schools nationwide over four academic school years. Since program inception, we have delivered the curriculum to more than 3,400 schools and 275,000 students. The curriculum is designed to drive meaningful social impact in communities by teaching high school students about building credit and managing debt. Through interactive virtual and in-person classroom sessions, Credit Worthy helps students start early on the path to financial wellness. More than half of the schools using the digital curriculum during the academic year were low-to-moderate income. As part of Credit Worthy by OneMain Financial, we will award up to $300,000 in scholarships over four years.
As part of our commitment to Impact, we continuously look for opportunities to minimize our environmental impacts and promote sustainability. In 2023, we published our Environmental Policy to emphasize our dedication to sustainability and compliance for our business. For additional information regarding our commitments to support our customers, communities, team members, and our corporate environment, please refer to our 2022 ESG Report, which is available on our Investor Relations website.
