Read full description

The business model of Credit Sesame is centered around providing free credit score checks and personalized recommendations to help users improve their credit scores. The platform allows users to check their credit scores daily and understand the factors impacting their credit. It also provides personalized actions that can help users improve their scores and reach their financial goals faster.

In addition to credit score monitoring, Credit Sesame also offers a platform for users to find and apply for credit card offers that have the highest chance of approval based on their credit profile. This means users can apply for credit cards with confidence, knowing that they have a high chance of approval.

Credit Sesame also offers a unique feature that allows users to build credit history using their daily debit purchases. This means users can start building credit when they use a prepaid debit card to pay for rent, subscriptions, groceries, and more.

The company makes money through partnerships with credit card companies and lenders. When a user applies for a credit card or loan through Credit Sesame, the company earns a commission.
