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 honestly don't really want to continue to use self at the moment. It just doesn't exactly fit me at the moment.
Why Choose?
I originally chose self because of a promotion ad off YouTube if I'm not mistaken.

Self is excellent tool to get your credit score up

THE CARDS NEED A OFF FEATURE SO THAT THE CARDS ARENT CHARGED WOTHOUT KNOWING. A SIMPLE TURN ON TURN OFF WOULD GO LIGHT YEARS. AND NEEDS TO SAY WHEN THERE GOING TO REPORT AND MAKE PAYMENT DATES MORE clear. Also ability to raise the credit limit

I like it. Building trade lines.

I have been a Self member for about four months now and my credit score has gone through the roof. The amount of improvement is more than I ever could've expected. i've recommended it to several friends now, and they are having the same experience as me. And with Self's Complete guide on how to maintain your credit score and as well as credit card recommendations and loan recommendations and self-help guides, I truly couldn't ask for more.
Why Choose?
I chose myself because I was in a tough spot, trying to improve my credit score, and it seemed like the most credible and easiest to use
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.
