Cleo Card does the work. You take the credit.

The Cleo Card1

Whether you’ve been overlooked by traditional credit cards or simply want to avoid the burden of credit card debt, with the Cleo Card you can build credit with a no interest, no credit check secured card.

Use your own money to build credit

Set a credit limit with a deposit that works for you. Then use your Cleo Card just like any other card. At the end of the month, your balance gets paid off using that same deposit—so it’s really hard to miss a payment, and every repayment helps strengthen your credit score.

Stay in the know with credit coaching

Get real-time updates on your credit score and personalized tips to help you improve it. Know exactly where you stand and how to level up.

Set it and forget it

With autopay enabled, your balance is paid off automatically each month using your deposit (this is what builds your credit).

Join the millions of Cleo subscribers who are building a life beyond their next paycheck.

    Add cash to your security deposit

    You can either transfer cash or set up direct deposits ($1 minimum). What you add will become your limit, so it’s really hard to miss a payment. We would say impossible, but our lawyers said we can’t.
