User Reviews

Many reviews praise Self as a valuable credit-building tool that combines a secured card with a credit-builder program and can help users with poor credit when used carefully. However, widespread complaints center on app instability and login issues, ongoing charges and cancellation difficulties, and negative or inaccurate reporting that can hurt scores. Customer support is often cited as slow or unhelpful, and several reviews raise concerns about terms and possible scam-like practices. Overall, reliability, transparency, and reporting accuracy drive the appraisal.
Pros
  • Credit-building tool that reports to major credit bureaus (helps establish or improve credit score)
  • Secured credit card and a credit-builder program offered in one all-in-one product
  • Potentially beneficial for users with poor credit when used responsibly (positive outcomes reported by some users)
  • Some users express clear value and satisfaction with the app as a credit-building option
Cons
  • Frequent app crashes and login instability (app closes on its own, login errors)
  • Recurring charges and difficulty canceling; unclear or harsh fee structure
  • Negative or inaccurate credit reporting (late payments or closed accounts reported) harming scores
  • Poor customer support and difficulty getting timely help (hard to reach agents, long waits)
  • Perceived misleading terms or scam-like concerns (claims of hidden costs or unfair practices)

I’m trying to log in and the two step verification process is not letting me enter the code from email. It’s also not allowing me to receive the code through sms.

I love this program and it was really helped with my credit score. However, for months now, whenever I try to use the app, it sits and spins and never loads for me to manage my account when logged in. I have plenty of storage and always keep my phone and app updated. I work in App development and know how to troubleshoot, but no matter what I always have to end up going through the web portal. Pretty disappointing.
