Destroyed my credit stay away!
Terrible Company
What makes this especially frustrating is that Kovo isn’t even a traditional credit card company. I was paying them $10 a month for a service that is supposed to help build credit, yet one missed $10 payment ended up doing significant damage to the very credit I was paying them to help build.
I contacted Kovo, explained the circumstances, and asked if they would remove the derogatory mark, but they refused. After paying a company every month specifically for a credit-building service, I find it ridiculous that one overlooked $10 payment could wipe out that progress and drop my score by nearly 30 points.
Based on my experience, I would never recommend Kovo to anyone. If you’re considering paying them to help build your credit, be aware that one missed payment can potentially leave you worse off than when you started. Chime credit building works better.

We're sorry to hear your experience with Kovo hasn't met your expectations. Our installment plan is designed to build payment history through affordable monthly payments rather than a credit card or loan. Your payment history gets reported to the bureaus as it happens, which is what makes each payment, on-time or missed, count toward your credit. We send reminders ahead of each due date and again if a payment is missed, and there's a 30-day window from the original due date to bring the account current before it's reported. We'd be happy to take another look with you if you'd like. Please reach out to support@kovocredit.com and we'll go through your payment history and see what we can do.

They Will Report Late Payments Don’t Get This App.
If you are using Kovo specifically to build or improve your credit, be very careful with your payment dates. Missing a payment long enough for it to be reported can end up hurting the same credit you signed up with them to build. I wish this risk had been made much clearer before I opened the account.

We're sorry to hear your experience wasn't what you hoped for. 💔 While we aim to support our customers in their credit-building efforts, we're still required to report payment history based on when payments are received, both on-time and missed payments. Any time you miss a payment, you have 30 days from the original due date to catch up without impact to your credit. We notify you if a payment is missed, and we also never charge interest or late fees. Can you please email us at support@kovocredit.com with any further questions or concerns? We value your input and are here to help! 💌
