We transform your plan

We convert your subscription into a Retail Installment Contract (RIC) — the same structure used for auto loans and appliance financing. This turns your routine wireless bill into a credit-building installment account paid over 24 months.

On-time payments build your credit

Your payments are reported to Experian monthly — with Equifax and TransUnion coming soon and full retroactive reporting from your first payment. On-time payments build payment history, the single biggest factor in your credit score. If you're a few days late, it won't hurt you. We're here to help.
