Biography

  • Brett Hildebrand is a major shareholder of Credit One Bank, one of the largest subprime lenders in the United States.
  • Despite a nearly identical name and logo to the better known Capital One Bank, Credit One is entirely separate and caters mainly to low-credit borrowers.
  • After beginning his career at Goldman Sachs and Citigroup, Hildebrand cofounded Sherman Financial Group in 1998 with Ben Navarro, Credit One's controlling shareholder.
  • Sherman Financial built Resurgent Capital Services into one of America's largest debt collection businesses before selling the company in 2021.
  • Hildebrand has plowed his cash proceeds from Credit One into biotech, AI and fintech bets through his investment firm IAG Capital Partners.
