Justice debt, turned into credit.
Parish is building credit for people with justice-related financial obligations — reporting the payments they already make to the major credit bureaus, and supporting the reentry that follows.
The idea
Payments already being made, finally counted
Developer of credit-building financial technology that leverages recurring criminal legal system payments.
Pay what you already owe
Payments to court fees, fines, restitution and supervision costs are the ones a member is already making. Parish does not add a new debt.
Parish reports them
Through Jump, those payments are reported to the major credit bureaus, so on-time history starts to count.
Credit starts to build
The goal named by the company: build credit, improve financial stability, and break the cycle of generational poverty.
How the money moves
Four steps, one file
