How does the Ava Credit Builder card work?

The Ava credit building card works like any other credit card but has built in features meant to boost your credit score. With a credit limit of $2,500 but the ability to spend up to $25 (or higher depending on your spend limit) on a subscription program monthly, Ava massively improves your Credit Card Utilization score which is a big part of your credit score.

The balance on your Ava is due 7 days after you use the card which we pull from the bank account you connected during onboarding. We then report both your utilization and on time payments within 24 hours to the credit bureaus which again helps boost your credit score quickly. It's that simple!

Why does Ava exist?

Ava is here to help you build credit and save money on debt. The best way to tackle debt is to find the lowest cost of debt possible so you pay as little as necessary. We create a personalized step by step plan, starting with improving your credit score.

How does Save & Build Credit work?

The Save & Build Credit feature is the perfect way to build both your savings AND your credit score. You put up to $30 every month into a Ava wallet for 12 months. Since you committed to this program, we report each payment to the credit bureaus as a successful on time payment towards a loan. This boosts your score and after 12 months you get ALL the money, up to $360, back. It's a win win!

It's important that you make on time payments towards this savings loan. If you miss payments or stop payments before the 12 month term is over, we will have to report a missed payment to the credit bureaus which will hurt your credit score. Make sure you're ready to make the commitment.

How do you handle data and security?

We never sell your data or save your banking login. All your personal information is kept safe with 256-bit encryption.

What does Ava cost?

To cover our cost to serve you we charge a subscription fee of $6/month when you sign up for an annual plan. The month to month subscription fee is $9. Remember: a score of 700+ can save you over $3000 annually. We have priced Ava to be fair and reasonable given the value we provide to you.

There are NO hidden fees or interest charges for our products. We win when you have excellent credit, save money and reach your financial goals.

Which Credit Bureaus do you report to?

We report to ALL three major bureaus (unlike most credit building products in the market). We report your file to TransUnion, Equifax and Experian within the first week of you joining Ava. You should see the Ava tradeline on your credit report within a week. Our goal is to help you get to a great credit score as soon as possible. 74% of our members see a score improvement in 7 days or less. Moreover, your on time payments are reported to all three bureaus within 24 hours. We believe you should not have to wait months to start seeing results that's why we are the only credit building app that reports daily instead of monthly.
