Self

Self is a financial technology company that was established in 2015 to make credit more accessible, catering to individuals new to credit or rebuilding their credit history. The company offers credit-building services by offering a credit builder account through a bank-held Certificate of Deposit (CD) that clients pay off in monthly installments, and every payment gets reported to all three credit bureaus. The company, founded by James Garvey, is centered on core values including authenticity, collaboration, responsibility, transparency, and prioritizing customers' long-term financial goals.
