Credit builders offer a relatively safer way to build credit as unlike traditional credit products, you don't have to withdraw and use the money to build credit—eliminating the risk of falling into a debt cycle. Instead, consistent monthly payments are reported to credit bureaus, helping you gradually build credit history—without the financial risks that come with traditional credit cards or lenders.

Not at all! A credit builder line of credit is designed to be easy to access. Since there’s no hard credit check, it’s a simple, stress-free way to build your credit history.

They help build your credit history. When you make your payments on time, it shows up as positive payment history - one of the biggest factors in your credit scores.

Credit cards can help, but they often come with high interest rates. KOHO’s Credit Building is a safe and interest-free alternative.

The main difference is that secured lines of credit need collateral—something valuable you own that the lender can take if you don't pay. Unsecured lines don't need collateral, but they usually have higher interest rates and are harder to get.

Not at all! There's no need to withdraw funds. Simply set your utilization rate (we suggest keeping it under 10%) at the start of each billing cycle. However, you'll have access to the funds whenever you need them. They provide a safety net for unexpected situations.

You’ll receive regular updates through KOHO and can monitor your credit report directly in the app.

You know how making payments on time can positively impact your credit? Well the opposite is true too, missing or late payments could hurt your scores. This is why we do not recommend withdrawing from the line of credit. We are invested in your success.

Yes! Thousands of Canadians have used KOHO’s Credit Building to grow their credit histories safely and securely²

KOHO's Credit Building tool retrieves your score directly from our trusted partner Equifax, which is one of the major credit reporting bureaus in Canada. KOHO reports your Credit Building payment activity to both Equifax and TransUnion®. Please note that your scores might vary from what you see on other reporting services. This difference can happen because Canada has two major credit bureaus. Each has its own criteria for scoring your credit. You can reach out to Equifax directly by giving them a call at 1-800-465-7166, or you can also log into your account on Equifax's website (https://www.consumer.equifax.ca/personal/)

The minimum credit scores you need to buy a home depends on which lender you get your mortgage with. In general, you’ll want scores of at least 620 to get a mortgage with a traditional lender (like a bank). This is according to Loans Canada. The better your credit scores, the more likely you are to get a low-interest rate.

You’ll want credit scores in the mid-600s to qualify to buy a car, according to Borrowell. You might qualify for a car loan with lower scores. But, like for buying a home, the higher your credit scores, the better your chances of getting a good car loan rate.
