Build your credit early and safely

We’re making building credit faster, safer and easier.

When you open an account with Firstcard, you will get a bank account and a credit card.

What you deposit into your Firstcard bank account is what you can spend on your Firstcard credit card.

How it works

What you deposit is what you can spend

Deposit $100 into Firstcard. Your deposit determines your credit limit.

Example: If you deposit $100, you will have $100 available to spend on your Firstcard.

When you spend $20, $20 is locked from your deposit as security. This ensures that you can pay back the bank at the end of the month.
Simultaneously, our bank partner lends you $20 with 0% interest rate.
This process allows you to build credit without overspending.

Keep your Autopay enabled

The locked $20 from your deposit is automatically used at the end of the month to pay off the $20 lent by the bank.

Firstcard reports your on-time payment to all three major credit bureaus. This will help improve your credit score over time.

Safer Credit Building with Autopay

Autopay is a feature that helps you build your credit score safely.

The feature ensures on-time payment by automatically paying off your Firstcard credit card bills using the money you’ve already transferred to your Firstcard.

Monitor your Credit Score right in the app

Firstcard+ members can monitor their credit scores directly in the Firstcard app.

We update your credit score every month so you can see clearly how your credit score improves over time.
