How Credit Builder works:
Get Started
Set up a Credit Builder plan1 through your Credit Karma Money Spend account2. Then choose how much and how often you want to save. And our partner, SeedFi, will deposit the amount into a locked savings account for you.
Build Credit
Repay SeedFi for the savings deposit they made. Your regular payments are reported to the three major credit bureaus, which could help you increase your score in as little as two months.3
Grow Savings
Once you accumulate $500 in savings, that money will be available to be deposited into your Credit Karma Money™ Spend account.
Maximize Impact
Repeat steps 1-3 or opt in to AutoSave to automate your savings and payments. Add direct deposit into your Spend account so you always have a steady flow of savings.

You’re eligible to apply through Credit Karma Money if your TransUnion credit score is 619 or below at the time of application. We expect members with a credit score of 619 or under could see an increase in as little as 2 months. Late payments can have a negative effect on your score, and other factors can impact it, including activity with your other credit accounts.
