Self: The responsible way to build credit

Self offers an opportunity to build credit while building savings. Start with a Credit Builder Account that reports to all 3 credit bureaus. Each on-time monthly payment builds credit history and savings. Choose the plan that works for you. Make at least 3 monthly payments on time, have $100 or more in savings progress in your Credit Builder Account, and be in good standing. Then, you’ll be eligible for the Self Visa Credit Card, without a hard credit check. Your savings progress from your Credit Builder Account acts as your security deposit for your secured Credit Card. These are consumer loan products.
