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.

I've been the biggest self fan for several years. I've got several friends and tons of family on it. Always happy with the service and the boost in credit. Then I had to file a dispute on some charges unfortunately. I don't believe self did their proper due diligence because my dispute got denied and now I basically owe twice a bill and on moral grounds I'm ready to sacrifice the health of my credit to not pay self another dime. Let my card go into collections after years of great payments. Several successful loans because you all failed me.

I have never experienced any credit builders account such as (Self). Your company is a wonderful Credit Builder Co., since I've become a member my experience with (Self) has been wonderful. Self always rewarding me with additional funds to my credit card account. What a rewarding experience.
Thank you! Self for all you do for your customers

Didn't realize at first that Self was actually a credit scam. You actually never get your money back like promised. I put in 500 dollars expecting it to be returned,but instead only received 80 dollars.And now the kicker there's no one to complain to,and if you drop Self you will receive a big drop in your credit score.It would be so much better to invest in a secured card with a real bank to protect your score and money. Don't get trapped like me. YOU WILL REGRET EVER DEAlING WITH THESE PEOPLE.

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.
