This app

This app, I actually had to download a second time to really understand it because I was completely clueless when I came to finances and when I got into really bad debt, I read out of this app and my credit has skyrocketed back to where it was before. it’s a great tool that teaches you how to save money doesn’t just give you credit. Doesn’t just try to get you to buy more credit cards and get loans and get more in debt essentially. This app is truly different than all these other financial apps so thank you for helping me raise my credit score teaching me how to manage my finances so I can now live a more comfortable life.

I had a life altering situation lead to my 760 score dropping to 480. I was crushed when I found kickoff it put the score back on the move and just 9 months later I am a 625 and able to get credit cards and a car loan again. Thanks Kikoff I have already had my Girlfriend start using it as well

KICKOFF…Kicks In!!

For me this is a great supplementary tool for saving or to use as an emergency fund. It’s relatively easy to set up and has nothing but upsides to it. Beats the conventional banking institution routes.
