I have a 750 credit score

I downloaded this app when I first turned 14 years old when I got my first job. It is now four years later that I turned 18 years old and I have a 750 credit score. This app is amazing and helped me start so early. I am so thankful thank you Step!

84% of 18 - 19 years olds have no credit history. Don’t let your kids be one of them.

My son has had his card since 13

Very awesome family card, I love it and my son has had his card since 13 years old, and had his first job deposit pay to his Step!!!

Fantastic app

Fantastic app helps me build for my child's future. I add as I go and created a weekly allowance they don't even know I'm doing it but in a few years it will be massive.
