So far I’m impressed
I’ve been using this app since September of 2020 (now April of ‘21) and even despite being late more than once, a couple times much later than I would’ve liked still my credit score has legit improved by at least 20 points. Considering my lack of credit, along with the few things on my credit report being pretty much all bad, that’s so much better than I could’ve done on my own. Now the app shows that I’m eligible for a self credit card, which, After doing some research about, I’ll probably be getting pretty soon. A secured credit card that they already determined I’m eligible for since they set the requirements and then monitor my account to know when I meet them. So no hard check into my credit and no deposit to open the account since it’s based on what I’ve already paid into my loan with them. So I get the loan back in about a year and a half, and in the mean time I can have a credit card secured by the money I’m already saving anyway? AND it’s actively reporting all of this so that it builds my credit real time and I get to see the benefit from it all right away? Hopefully I don’t end up feeling the need to come back and edit this review, but so far there’s really not any downsides, just make sure You set a payment amount you can keep up with, obviously the more the better for your credit, but not if you can’t pay it once you get it going, so keep it within reason for your income. I really do love it so far.
