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 and Experian 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 credit line (limited to Kikoff services), and you just pay back what you spend (our lowest + most popular payment amount is $5/month). We report those payments to the credit bureaus every month while your utilization rate stays low (like 8% 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. Just click “send dispute” and we take care of it*. 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.


*Credit Score Increase: Based on Kikoff customers who start with 600 or below credit. Payment behavior can have an impact on your credit score, and individual results may vary. Data current as of March 2022.
**Sending Disputes via Kikoff is free.
***Which bureaus are reported to depends upon which Kikoff products you have. Kikoff Credit Account reports to Equifax and Experian. Credit Builder Loan (optional add-on) reports to TransUnion and Equifax. Kikoff Secured Credit Card reports to Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion.
****Autopay requires opt-in.

Ratings and reviews

This thing is a total joke. I was sick for 2 months. I haven't been laid on any payments and four and a half years on eight trade lines. A car payment anything 100% perfect payment history. I was sick. Couldn't make payments on anything for 2 months. I was getting overdraft fees from the stupid kickoff and I couldn't cancel it. It'll hit my credit even harder. I finally did. Now it's showing them 90 days past due. 668score to 480 to 530 lost 30 pts because kickoff !!!! H8u

In the beginning everything was going fine. I have been with kikoff for a few months now. But today it's like everything had changed. I had been on the app all day, and then it randomly logged me out. I had gotten an email from kikoff regarding some premium upgrade plan that would help protect my information etc. Once I clicked on the link in the email, then all of the sudden, the page won't load and it kept telling me it's my internet connection. I can't log into my account ❗❗

Kikoff does what they say, and it definitely helped me bump my score up a little. Unfortunately the app is abysmal, constantly logging you out, and may the gods help you if you need to change your address. I have moved twice and haven't been able to change my address at all-- so the address they have is 2 rentals ago! The "verify identity" button does nothing, and their chat support was not able to do anything.
