A Financial Services Rebrand Masks Murky MLM History
The company once known as Novae is back under a new name, pushing financial services through a network model with deep ties to multi-level marketing.
BehindMLM first exposed Novae in 2016. The operation rebranded as "Novae: The Credit and Money Company" in early 2024 and joined the Direct Selling Association, a trade group that certifies MLM companies. We're calling it Novae Money for clarity.
A reader asked us to take another look in October. What we found raises fresh questions about the company's legitimacy and the man running it.
Novae Money operates from novaemoney.com, a domain first registered in 2014. The site is based in Georgia and run by founder Reco McDaniel. Except that's not quite right. On Novae Money's own website, he lists himself as "Reco McCambry." On social media, he goes by "Reco McDaniel McCambry." LinkedIn has him as "Reco M. McCambry." The name inconsistency is unexplained.
McCambry carries baggage from his MLM past. Our 2016 investigation documented his history in the sector. He's still running Novae Money, so nothing has changed on that front.
One bright spot: neither Novae nor Novae Money have faced regulatory warnings or enforcement actions since launch. That's more than can be said for many companies in this space.
Novae Money ditched its original product line—vitamin sprays marketed under the "Sprayology" brand—to rebrand as a fintech firm. The website now pitches access to credit, capital, and entrepreneurship opportunities for consumers and small businesses.
The actual offerings are stacked across two categories. On the consumer side, Novae Money sells debt reduction services claiming to slash monthly payments by half. They broker credit card comparisons, personal loans, life insurance through Policygenius, and estate planning documents running $199 to $599 depending on complexity. Credit monitoring and dispute management services round out the roster, plus cash advances up to $750 between paychecks.
For small business owners, the company dangles business credit services without elaborating what that means on their site.
The problem isn't the products themselves—most are legitimate offerings available elsewhere. The problem is how Novae Money distributes them. Operating as an MLM means income flows through recruiting networks, not direct sales to customers. That structure has burned countless people who chase promises of easy money by signing up friends and family.
Novae Money's rebranding and DSA membership look designed to launder the company's image. Slapping a "fintech" label on an MLM doesn't change its fundamental mechanics. People at the bottom of the pyramid still lose money. The math doesn't work any other way.
McCambry's use of multiple names—whether intentional or sloppy—doesn't inspire confidence either. Legitimate business operators don't hedge their identities.
Novae Money may have avoided regulatory action so far, but that's a low bar. The company's network structure, murky founder history, and rebranding strategy all point toward the same old MLM playbook with new window dressing.
