About Self Financial
We're here to help you build credit and savings and reach your financial goals.
It all started with some missed payments.
Self began in 2015 after a mistake with Founder James Garvey’s credit card that tanked his credit score. Looking for a way to rebuild his credit, James saw the challenges faced by millions of Americans with low or no credit.
Traditionally, to get credit, you needed credit. It’s a catch-22, and the system was set up against many of us. So Self created tools that work regardless of credit history or bank balance.
Today, Self continues to innovate — making credit building more accessible for everyone.
4 Million Builders served, and counting.
Better credit can open the door to achieving other goals. So whether you're simply a Credit Builder, or you’re set on becoming a Home Builder, a Car Builder, or a Life Builder, Self is here to help you make it possible.
