Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

I was deeply under the impression the $2,500 credit building account would be reimbursed after it was paid off. Where is the $2,500 going if it's not given back after it's paid off? Thought it was like the Self app that gives you your money back after the credit line is paid off. Kikoff is just stealing money. You can’t cancel the account or the whole credit line is wiped from your credit report and drops your credit score more than it grew it. Basically, forcing you to continue to pay each month, even after the line is paid off. This is a scam and has to be illegal.
QOswell
I got on this app after reading TONS of reviews saying how they got a better score very quickly (within a few weeks to a few months) and the fact that the platform says 'build credit QUICKLY'. Have been on this for around 2 months, got the middle plan. My score is exactly the same so far, not even 5 pts higher. So far I see no benefit of paying for this, and I am unsure how others are seeing so many quick and great results.

I love this app because my credit has gone up to over 600 and I just want to say Thank You Kikoff.
