            You will need to download the Grain app and sync your current debit card and start
            enjoying Grain. If approved, you can use your Grain Card anywhere MasterCard is
            accepted.






            Grain does build credit since it reports to credit bureaus. However, it's designed for
            people  who  can't  get  traditional  credit  cards  because  they  have  no  or  low  credit
            scores.  Still,  it  also  can  provide  an  opportunity  for  those  with  high  income  and
            decent  savings  histories  to  see  their  score  rise  over  time  if  they  use  this  card
            responsibly.  Monthly,  Grain  reports  your  credit  to  the  three  major  bureaus  and
            helps  you  to  update  your  credit  score  monthly.  You  can  find  your  score  on  the

            Profile tab of the app.































            The downside of this card is that it charges 1% for every withdrawal that you make.
            Also,  there  is  an  interest  rate  of  12%  APR  for  auto  payment  and  15.99%  APR  for

            non-auto  pay  for  using  the  card.  You  also  get  charged  a  late  fee.  You  are  either
            charged 5% of the minimum balance or $5. Overall, Grain is worth trying especially
            if you are struggling because of low credit. Here is the link to again.

            Credit Strong -- Building Savings and Credit History


            What  do  you  get  when  you  combine  a  secured  consumer  installment  loan  and  a
            savings account? Credit Strong. A Credit Strong account is the fusion of a secured
            consumer installment loan and a savings account. Austin Capital Bank provides a
            loan that is secured by your savings account.


            Every month you make monthly payments consisting of principal and interest; the

            bank  uses  part  of  it  to  cover  the  costs  of  providing  this  service  to  you;  these
            payments are credited toward the lock and contribute to paying off more debt with
            every payment being made. You do not receive the money on day one; it's instantly
            deposited into your bank and locked to secure the funds to repay debts over time.
