Richard Simon brings the same values from his military service to everything he does at PROG: accountability, integrity, and a no-excuses approach to doing the right thing. In his own words: "If you make a mistake, own up to it. If you do something right, good job. Move on. Do something else."   We're grateful to have Richard on our team and honored by the heart he brings to leading Valor.

New research shows that for many near- and below-prime consumers, purchases are driven by family needs and urgency, not impulse. In those moments, flexible payment options can provide a sense of reassurance as consumers navigate financial uncertainty. For retailers, offering flexibility can be a key competitive differentiator for consumers navigating these essential purchases. Explore the data behind these insights and what they mean for today’s retailers: https://lnkd.in/eKxPMFgH #FlexiblePayments #FintechForRetail #LTO

For many working consumers, managing monthly expenses requires ongoing prioritization and trade-offs. Our new research shows that nearly a third of near- and below-prime consumers are actively balancing essential expenses and discretionary spending, highlighting a broader misunderstanding of what financial stability really looks like for working households. For retailers, this means meeting customers where they are, recognizing that affordability, timing, and flexibility increasingly shape purchasing decisions. Learn how our latest report explores what this data reveals, and what meaningful support looks like in practice. https://lnkd.in/esuvZuB3 #RetailInsights #ConsumerTrends #FlexiblePayments
