How Self started
CEO James Garvey founded Self in 2015 after making a mistake with automatic payments on his credit card. By the time he caught it, his credit score had tanked. In searching for a way to rebuild his credit, he saw some of the challenges faced by millions and millions of Americans with low or no credit.

James found that to get credit, you need credit. It’s a catch-22, and the system is set up against many people. He created a solution that works regardless of credit history or bank balance. Self now offers the Credit Builder Account, the Self Visa® Credit Card, and rent and bills reporting — all different tools for building credit and positive financial habits.

Mission: We believe everyone should have the opportunity to improve their financial future. We exist to enable people to build credit, save money, and reach their goals.
