*Sesame Cash is a prepaid debit card issued by Community Federal Savings Bank (CFSB). Building credit with Sesame Cash requires you to also open a virtual secured credit card with CFSB that is reported to the credit bureaus. Use money from your Sesame Cash account to create a virtual secured credit card. Your debit card purchases are then added up to create a balance on your virtual secured credit card. As you make these purchases, an amount equal to the balance on your virtual secured credit card is also set aside in your Sesame Cash account to ensure you can make timely payments to pay off the balance on your virtual secured credit card at the end of each month, allowing you to build a positive payment history. Credit Sesame does not guarantee credit score improvement. Any predicted credit improvement from the use of your virtual secured credit card assumes that you will maintain healthy credit habits.

so I do like this app and it has helped me build my credit, however it is not as budget-friendly as some similar apps out there that offer the same service. it's also very delayed as far as transferring money from a bank account onto the card which is very frustrating it takes weeks sometimes for my money to be added to the card from my bank account that is linked. Overall though I would recommend it as an additional means of improving your credit.

Exactly what everyone should have to stay on top of your credit. The changes are immediately reported to you by text link. I recommend this app to all to be able to act immediately if there is a sudden change. This is for all credit scores. If you are repairing, building or monitoring your score. This app immediately tells you what has changed. 5+ stars, because you can choose the free option. Great product. You don't get your FICO for free, but the score change monitors are a heads up. .

Credit Sesame is helpful at keeping track of your credit score for free. It also gives you advice on how to get that score up really quick. Like 50 points in 1 day(that's not typical but is definitely possible). I love that this app gives you lots of options as well as shows you examples regarding what would probably happen to your score should you miss a payment or 2 as well as if you made a few extra payments on a bill.Very Helpful.
