Hi.

We're Self.

We're here to help you build credit and savings and reach your financial goals.

It all started with some missed payments.

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 the more than 100 million Americans with low or no credit.

"To get credit, you need to have credit. It's a catch-22, and the system is set up against you," James says. So he created a solution that works regardless of your credit history.

Over 4 million builders served, and counting.

Instead of dwelling on scores, we focus on what you aspire toward. Whether it’s being a Home Builder, a Queen Builder, a Car Builder, or a Life Builder, Self is here to help you make it possible.
