For more information: All Policies: https://www.creditsesame.com/legal/policies/ Customer Service: help@creditsesame.com 1 Sesame Cash is a prepaid debit card issued by Community Federal Savings Bank (CFSB). Building credit with Sesame Cash requires you to also open a secured line of credit with CFSB that is reported to the credit bureaus. Use money from your Sesame Cash account to create a secured line of credit (Secured Account). Your debit card purchases are then added up to create a balance on your Secured Account. As you make these purchases, an amount equal to the balance on your Secured Account is also set aside in your Sesame Cash account to ensure you can make timely payments to pay off the balance on your secured line of credit at the end of each month, allowing you to build a positive payment history. Credit Sesame does not guarantee credit score improvement. Any predicted credit improvement from the use of your Secured Account assumes that you will maintain healthy credit habits, including paying bills on time, keeping credit balances low, avoiding unnecessary inquiries, appropriate financial planning, and more. 2 Sesame Cash fees include a $9.99 monthly fee ("Monthly Fee") and a $3 monthly inactivity fee ("Inactivity Fee"). However, we may waive these fees as follows: To qualify for the waiver of the Monthly Fee, you must either deposit $500 into your Sesame Cash account through direct deposit or spend $1,000 each month with your Sesame Cash account. Spending can be satisfied either through point of sale transactions or by using your Sesame Cash card to pay your bills. To qualify for the waiver of the Inactivity Fee, there must be money movement or a purchase made with your Sesame Cash account at least once within a 30-day rolling period. As a courtesy, we will not charge you the Monthly Fee or the Inactivity Fee within the first 30 days of account opening. Review the Sesame Cash Cardholder Agreement for the full fee schedule and additional details. International and out-of-network cash withdrawal fees apply. Third-party and cash deposit fees may also apply.

    Nice app with nicely put together sections. Easy to navigate. But the protection plan ot premium plan is a bit high in my opinion at 20 bucks a month. Other than that it's a good addition to your credit building suite.
  • Trash-used Transunion as main

    Credit sesame is trash. They use transunion as the man credit bureau knowing transunion never updates or updates the last/slowest of all 3 bureaus. I recently paid a big chunk of my credit card off and while the other two bureaus updated, even after an entire month and half…yes that’s right…a whole 6 weeks, transunion still didn’t show the payment and new balance. Transunion had my usage at above 50% when I deliberately worked hard to get it down and the other two showed the change. I have a theory that the app does this to make it appear that your credit score is lower than it actually is and to keep you as a customer. Makes absolutely no sense. Use a different app.
  • Awful

    I paid for the “Pro” version for 3 months and half the features that are promoted never worked. There was zero benefit in upgrading. Absolutely awful experience, felt like I was robbed.

    You morons needs to fix your site. One would thing changing an email address is simple. Not with this site or another one. You can go ahead and try, just don’t expect to change you email address.
  • Impossible to contact someone

    I got this app several years ago and it was great because I could monitor my credit and keep an eye on things while also getting random tips and advice. There’s a few features I do enjoy, however if you get the credit sesame card, it’s nearly impossible to contact someone and cancel it. I originally got the card because I expected to use it and have it help build my credit. I should have read more into it because they charged me $10 a month, and then another $8 fee every month on it. I originally put $200 into it just to have a balance, but I use other credit cards because they give me rewards, unlike this card. A few years go by and I assumed since I didn’t use the card I’d have $200 on it, but it was in the negative because of the charges every month. Part of it is my problem not reading fine print and keeping an eye on it, I will accept that. However I tried to cancel the card and it’s been nearly impossible. I’ve tried calling, emailing, using the rep chat, etc.. and I’ve had no positive results. So I’m still getting charged almost $20 a month for a card I can’t get rid of. I doubt they’ll see this review, but if I can warn anytime else not to sign up for this card, I will. Also, about 40% of the app is just trying to push you to sign up for things. Some of it they’ll trick you in saying it’ll improve your credit score, or give you some kind of benefit but they do not. Use the app at your own risk, and make sure you check everything before signing up for one of their deals or features because this company will take advantage of you, and keep charging you while giving you no options to opt out.
