Who is eligible for the Self Referral Program?
All Self members are eligible to refer someone with their unique referral link.
Does my referral have to sign up for a Credit Builder Account?
Yes. While we welcome all new Self members, your referral must sign up for a Credit Builder Account and make at least one successful payment before you can receive the reward.
Whom can I refer to Self?
You can refer any individual who meets the minimum requirements: Individual borrowers must be a U.S. Citizen or permanent resident and at least 18 years old. Valid bank account and Social Security Number are required. Subject to ID Verification. You may refer friends, family members, coworkers, or acquaintances. However, you will only earn a reward for every referral who is approved for a Credit Builder Account and makes at least one successful payment.
How do I ensure my friend’s application is linked to my referral account?
Share your unique invite link and make sure your referral signs up directly from that URL. Please note that if your referral does not sign up using your referral link, you will not be credited and therefore ineligible for the reward.
How do I get paid?
Your referral reward will be distributed from Self by check. Self will notify you when your friend’s first payment has been completed and issue a check in the amount of the reward. Please allow for 7-10 business days for your payment to arrive.
When do I get paid?
Your referral reward will be mailed to you once your referral’s first payment has been completed. Payments may take up to 30 days to process. Once the payment has been completed, you will receive notification and will receive a check by mail in 7-10 business days.
What about the taxes?
Payments made to you for Self's Refer a Friend Program are considered non-employee compensation. If you receive more than $600 in Refer a Friend payments during a calendar year, Self will request a W-9 form from you to verify your taxpayer ID and legal status, and will issue you a 1099-NEC form shortly after year end. No tax form will be issued if payments are less than $600 during the calendar year. You are responsible for all taxes related to Self Refer a Friend Program payments.
