With over 500,000 downloads, Grow Credit, featured on the 2022 Forbes Fintech 50 and recognized as one of America's most innovative companies, helps consumers build credit for free using their subscriptions, with no prior credit history required.
As featured in the App Store “Hot This Week” section.
Your credit score is different on Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion. Having a strong score on all three matters as mortgage lenders, car dealers, and credit card companies often review more than one to determine a consumer's creditworthiness. Grow helps you boost your credit score quickly on all three.
Grow your credit with your subscriptions in three easy steps:
- Apply for your Grow MasterCard.
- Link your bank account.
- Add your subscriptions: Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, Spotify, HBO Max, or over 100 others.
Your subscriptions will be billed to your Grow MasterCard, and we’ll automatically debit your bank account every month and report your progress to all three credit bureaus.
A better credit score means lower interest rates on future loans, which could save you tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Applying for Grow will not result in a hard credit pull and will not affect your credit score.
We recommend using Grow alongside Rocket Money and Credit Karma.

- Bug fixes and performance enhancements.
At first, everything seemed great. Then, unfortunately, I noticed that they were double billing my credit card. When I sent a message to customer service, because they do not have a phone number that you can call, the person responding said they had no idea what I was talking about. Finally, I became fed up, and attempted to close the account. Since closing the account, they have also billed my credit card two more times, which they deny. I’m so glad my bank is good because they are disputing this on my behalf and there are no issues with them.
The only good thing that came out of this, is the fact they did report to the credit bureaus - however, it was never on the same day or even a consistent pattern. And I’ve noticed overall it did not actually improve my credit score.
