Splitero, Inc. joins the association and its Board of Directors to elevate homeowner education around flexible home equity options
MANASSAS, Va., April 13, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Coalition for Home Equity Partnership (CHEP), a national non-profit association representing a collective of financial services companies that offer innovative, flexible ways to tap home equity, often referred to as shared equity products (SEPs), is pleased to announce the addition of Splitero, Inc. as its newest Executive Board Member. As part of the company's commitment to and engagement in the association, Splitero's general counsel, John Pingel, will officially join the CHEP Board of Directors alongside leaders from Hometap Equity Partners, LLC, Point Digital Finance, Inc. and Unlock Technologies, Inc., the association's three founding members.
Splitero is a leading originator of SEPs. Splitero's product is a home equity investment (HEI) in which a homeowner receives a lump sum payment in exchange for a set percentage of their home's future value, subject to a safety cap to prevent outsized short-term returns.
"At Splitero, we believe homeowners should be able to access the equity they've built in their homes without being blocked by restrictive income and credit score qualifications," said Michael Gifford, CEO of Splitero. "Our mission is to ease homeowners' access to their equity with fewer barriers and no additional monthly payments. A more inclusive financial system empowers homeowners to relieve their financial stress, whether paying off debt or funding a renovation. We're excited to join the Coalition for Home Equity Partnership to expand consumer education around shared equity products, support thoughtful regulation, and work with industry leaders to make these solutions more accessible for homeowners."
The growth of CHEP mirrors the growth of the SEP industry, which aims to serve a growing subset of homeowners who either cannot get a mortgage loan, or who choose not to make a monthly payment, but want to take advantage of the wealth stored in their homes. With 35% of all equity-extraction mortgage loan applications denied in 2024, according to a recent study from the Urban Institute, SEPs are an essential alternative for homeowners who may have no other viable way to access their home equity to achieve important objectives such as paying off debt, completing home renovations, financing their children's education, starting a small business or covering medical expenses.
"The shared equity product industry is growing as homeowners across the country look for ways to tap into wealth accumulated in their homes to address myriad financial concerns. We are thrilled to have Splitero, a leading originator, joining the Coalition for Home Equity Partnership's leadership team as we continue to pursue the important mission of protecting and promoting SEPs," said Cliff Andrews, president of CHEP.
CHEP continues to champion best practices for consumer protection, collaborating with policymakers at both the state and federal levels to implement appropriate regulations while ensuring homeowners maintain access to these financial tools. As part of these efforts, the association is aiming to release its recommended model disclosures and industry standards later this spring.
