Hi. We're Self. We're here to help you build credit and savings and reach your financial goals.
It all started with some missed payments. CEO James Garvey founded Self in 2015 after making a mistake with automatic payments on his credit card. By the time he caught it, his credit score had tanked. In searching for a way to rebuild his credit, he saw some of the challenges faced by the more than 100 million Americans with low or no credit.
"To get credit, you need to have credit. It's a catch-22, and the system is set up against you," James says. So he created a solution that works regardless of your credit history.
Instead of dwelling on scores, we focus on what you aspire toward. Whether it’s being a Home Builder, a Queen Builder, a Car Builder, or a Life Builder, Self is here to help you make it possible.

It has been a good experience other than I have been making payments early and they tend to take long time to show that I have actually made a payment

I think Self has given me a new lease on building my credit and teaching me how to use credit responsibly. Most people are not credit card people, myself included, but Self is teaching me how to be a responsible credit card person!

I absolutely love the Self app. I also recommended it to my daughter when she was 18 and she completed the program after the year of saving the money. And that helped her credit score so much and helped her to get a regular unsecured card and was also able to just recently purchased a new vehicle, and it all started with the Self app.and this is the second time I have done this and I absolutely love it. It helped me on the way to fix my credit now for the second time.
Why Choose?
I chose self for the second time now because it’s easy to use and it really did help my credit score last time I used it.

Why Trust Verified Reviews?
Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.
Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.
As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:
Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.
Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.
So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
