Case Study: Oportun achieves bilingual mobile app accessibility and faster releases with Transifex

Oportun Seizes a Multi-language Market Leadership Opportunity with Help from Transifex

Oportun is a mission-driven fintech (founded 2005, CDFI-certified) serving about 2 million members—many from low- and moderate-income communities and half with no prior credit history. The company needed to localize its mobile app, which was English-only, to serve a large portion of borrowers who prefer Spanish while preserving a consistent brand voice and meeting strict financial compliance requirements.

Transifex delivered an end-to-end localization platform, automated workflows (MT, TM, glossary), and partner coordination with TBO, plus plug-and-play integrations into Oportun’s CI/CD, GitHub and support systems. The app became fully bilingual in six months, cutting manual translation effort by up to 25%, speeding releases and go-to-market, and making Oportun’s services more accessible to millions of potential new members.
