Self Financial

Online platform for credit score improvement

About Self Financial

Self Financial helps individuals build or rebuild their credit scores through online services and a mobile app. Their main products are Credit Builder Loans and the Self Credit Card. A Credit Builder Loan is a small loan that is secured in a certificate of deposit (CD), where monthly payments are reported to credit bureaus to help establish a positive credit history. Once the loan is paid off, the borrower can access the funds in the CD, turning payments into savings. The Self Credit Card requires an upfront deposit and also reports monthly payments to credit bureaus. Unlike traditional credit unions, Self Financial operates entirely online, making it accessible to tech-savvy users and those without access to conventional banking. The goal of Self Financial is to help clients improve their credit scores, enabling them to qualify for loans and other financial products while generating revenue through fees associated with their services.
