OUR CUSTOMERS LOVE US

Timothy L.

Mobile, Alabama

I’m a teenager about to turn 19, and of course credit is extremely confusing. Kikoff has helped me get a better understanding of the importance of building credit, while actively getting a better credit score!

Desiree F.

In as little as 2 months, my credit went from a 545 to almost a 600! I have a 2 year old with my fiance, so getting our credit up for our family is everything!

Nathan C.

Belle Vernon, Pennsylvania

I'm in the middle of getting my first car loan because my credit went from 0 - 596 in one payment... I was skeptical but now I tell all my friends about it!

FAQ

What type of loan is this?

The Kikoff Credit Account gives you a $500 revolving line of credit. This type of credit doesn't have a fixed number of payments, so you get even more capacity and flexibility in building your credit.

With the Credit Account, you can make purchases from the new Kikoff Store! Think of it like a credit card, but there are no interest, no fees, AND we help you spend responsibly.

We’re always working on new credit-building features to improve your experience. Stay tuned for increased credit limits and even more purchase options. Just remember, the better you are paying back what you borrow, the better it looks on your credit score.

Will there be a pull on my credit?

Kikoff is NOT a pull on your credit.

Kikoff believes in helping you build credit easily so that you can reach those larger financial goals, like buying a car or a house.

We don’t check your score, we just help you build it.

What about the $12 loan?

It's an old product! We're no longer taking new sign ups for the $12 loan. But if you've got it, it still works. We're continuing to report your payments on the $12 loan.

We like to think of the Kikoff Credit Account as the new-and-improved version of the $12 loan. It's designed to give you unlimited payment history and low credit utilization, helping you grow your credit even more.
