Sezzle Users Complete Over 2 Million Financial Literacy Lessons in the App's Money IQ Program
Minneapolis, MN, Oct. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sezzle Inc. (NASDAQ:SEZL) (Sezzle or Company) // - Sezzle, the digital financial platform specializing in Buy Now, Pay Later, today announced that Money IQ, its in-app financial literacy platform powered by Zogo, has surpassed 2 million completed modules among more than 338,000 users.
A majority of Americans say they feel unprepared to navigate shifting financial challenges, from rising costs to economic uncertainty. Sezzle saw that gap and built Money IQ— core lessons are free to download and use, with no subscription required. The platform creates a pipeline for users' financial journeys right inside its app: learn a skill, like budgeting or building credit, then put it into practice in the real world — all while earning Sezzle Points for every completed lesson along the way — so the more users learn, the more they earn. Users can then redeem points for Sezzle Spend or gift cards to Amazon, DoorDash, Instacart, and more.
That design is already showing results. As of October 2026, Money IQ users have logged over 68,100 hours of learning. That engagement is translating into real behavior change: according to Sezzle's March 2026 Money IQ user survey, 91% of surveyed users report that Money IQ has been helpful in making financial decisions, and 90% feel more confident managing their finances since using the platform— with opening a bank account, saving money, and building credit among the most-completed lessons.
“We're building an all-in-one app for the everyday American's financial journey, start to finish. Our investment in Money IQ and the rewards surrounding it are an important part of helping users learn how to build and manage credit and save money, then put those same skills to use in their daily lives. That's the full pipeline we're building: learn it, then live it,” said Charlie Youakim, CEO and Co-Founder of Sezzle.
"Sezzle is raising the bar for what customers should expect from a financial platform. They were the first partner we worked with to build their own rewards program into the app around financial education, and Money IQ’s growing engagement speaks to that commitment. We’re proud to build alongside a partner that’s making financial knowledge a meaningful part of the customer experience,” said Ben Brooks, President of Zogo.
Money IQ is one piece of Sezzle's bigger vision: a one-stop app that meets the everyday American wherever they are in their financial journey and gives them the tools to move forward responsibly.
