About Walnut
Walnut’s mission is to expand access to affordable healthcare. Healthcare should not be a luxury. We fundamentally believe that nobody should struggle financially to receive healthcare. Every year, thousands of families in the United States declare bankruptcy due to large medical bills and 1 in 3 Americans skip care every year because of concerns about cost. At Walnut, we’re on a mission to make sure everyone who needs or wants healthcare can access it affordably. Walnut provides patients a better alternative to traditional credit cards or loans, giving them the flexibility to buy now and pay later at virtually any healthcare provider. Unlike payment options that have late fees, compounding interest and unexpected costs, Walnut shows customers up front exactly what they’ll pay — with no hidden fees and no surprises.
