Free $100 From Chime
/Chime Bank also offers Credit Builder. My son swears by it to increase credit scores:
Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how it works:
Open a Chime Account:
You must have a Chime Checking Account to use Credit Builder.
Fund Your Secured Account:
Move any amount of money from your Chime Checking Account to the Credit Builder secured account. This amount becomes your credit limit.
Use Your Card:
Swipe your Credit Builder Visa® card anywhere Visa is accepted, up to the amount you have in your secured account.
Make Payments:
Chime automatically uses the money in your secured account to pay your monthly balance, ensuring you make on-time payments.
Build Your Credit:
On-time payments are reported to the credit bureaus, which can help improve your credit score over time.
