About this app

Kikoff is the smartest way to build credit fast.

Starting under 600? You could jump 25 points your first month.*
Pick a plan, starting at just $5 a month.†

Make your first payment - and Kikoff starts reporting to all 3 bureaus (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion) - which can result in a serious credit improvement.
Kikoff works by giving you access to a specialized credit line‡ - designed exclusively to help build your credit. Kikoff uses your monthly payments to strengthen key credit factors - like payment history and utilization - that can determine over half of your credit health.

In addition to building credit, Kikoff is the #1 app for monitoring your credit score. Quickly monitor your credit score at each of the 3 bureaus, and easily dispute credit errors in app at the press of a button.

Build your credit further using Kikoff’s rent reporting and bill reporting features, which let you build credit with the rent and utilities you already pay.

Kikoff's Premium and Ultimate plans can unlock even more features, such as identity theft insurance (up to $1 million), and higher tradelines (up to $3500)‡.

Best of all? No credit checks, no interest, and no hidden fees.

Kikoff is the #1 credit builder on the App Store§ for a reason. After all - it's helped over a million people win at credit.

Get started today.

Late payments may negatively impact your credit score. Individual results may vary.

I used a different app in the past. This was easier at $5 per month and cheaper to build credit. I didn't mind that the credit could only be used in their store because it keeps you from spending, thus adding to your credit. It did help me build credit over a years time. I dropped it to 3 stars because it is an absolute nightmare to get your money out for the loan part. The hoops you have to jump through to get your own money is insane. I won't use that part again, unfortunately.

It worked great when I first tried it, but then they locked me out of my account. When I try to login with my phone number, the only option it gives me, it says it is registered to another user and to try again. I only have one number and it's on my account with them. Now they are reporting on my credit. An app that was supposed to help me repair my credit is actually making it worse. DON'T USE THIS APP IF YOU ACTUALLY HOPE TO RAISE YOUR CREDIT SCORE!!!

Pros: Your credit will increase!! That part really works! Cons: They aren't clear about how it works. They don't say you'll get your money back in the end, but they also aren't clear that you won't. Their actual service that allows you to get your money back in the end doesn't unlock until you do the regular credit build and it starts you with a VERY low amount and doesn't build your credit nearly as well. Start with their lowest option to raise credit. You wont get that money back...
