Kikoff - Build Credit Quickly

Kikoff Inc.

About this app

If you’re ready to build your credit, Kikoff is the fastest, smartest, and easiest way to do it.

Kikoff customers who make on-time payments see improvements of their credit score by 58 points, on average.*

Sign up for Kikoff Basic plan for just $5/month or Premium plan for $20/month. You’ll get a credit line reported to Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion** every month. Each on-time payment builds payment history, which helps your credit! Whether you have a low credit or no credit, we make it easy and worry-free – no credit check required and it only takes a few minutes to apply.

How it works:
1. We lower your credit utilization with a $750 or a $2,500 tradeline.

2. You make a purchase with that tradeline (limited to Kikoff), and you just pay back what you spend (our lowest + most popular payment amount is $5/month). We report those payments to Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion every month while your utilization rate stays low.

3. You have the option to put your credit building on autopilot by turning on AutoPay – that’s right, no heavy lifting required from you after account setup.

4. We flag errors on your report. Also, users with Premium Credit Service account can sign up to Rent Reporting to have their rent payments reported.

Kikoff helps you build credit by establishing a payment history and maintaining a low utilization rate, all with no unexpected fees or interest.

Ratings and reviews

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!!!

totally disappointed. using a credit scoring system that is not the most commonly used in the US is deceitful to me. because 50 points does make a difference when looking for a credit card or auto loan. then you don't get approved and the hard inquiry goes against you. also if you miss your membership payment you can go against you on your credit score. not to mention they lock you in at a year membership so you have to pay for a whole year instead of a few months if that's what you wanted...
