Career
Curry founded Geneva Roth Ventures and Geneva Roth Capital, which partnered with banks in Utah and offered payday loans through the website LoanPointUSA, often with high interest rates. Curry's payday loan websites were under sanctions by state regulators since 2007, and by 2014, the company had been barred from doing business in at least six states, including Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Indiana, Oregon, and Washington. The company was backed by the hedge fund, Medley Opportunity II Fund, based in New York. The settlement was approved by a judge in April 2021 after being raised to $182 million, including an additional $21 million from Curry. As part of the settlement, Curry agreed to stop all managerial and operational roles at American Web Loan. SOL Partners helped manage key lending functions of American Web Loan.
Curry founded the Mark E. Curry Family Foundation in 2015. The foundation hosts an annual "Club Curry" fundraising gala to benefit a selected grantee; the 2016 gala benefitted the San Jorge Children's Foundation in Puerto Rico.
