Our take
Almost 50 million Americans are “credit invisible” with no credit score at all, while there are also around the same number with low credit scores. The ramifications of this are profound, as it goes on to affect mortgage and rental applications, personal loans, and even job prospects.
Self is one of a number of fintechs, along with the likes of Better, TomoCredit and SoFi, that are attempting to help people get easier access to loans, and in turn credit scores. The company offers consumers installment loans and its own visa credit card, regardless of their current credit score.
While there’s lots of competition in this particular fintech niche, Self has been scaling up rapidly over the last few years, increasing its headcount and expanding into credit reporting for rent with its acquisition of RentTrack.
