Bits

Bits is a credit building service which has helped thousands of people in the UK build credit for just £6/month.

The basic idea is that you get a Bits credit building subscription, and that opens up access to a whole host of member benefits. The only fee you ever pay is the monthly Bits subscription that you choose.

The full list of Bits services that open up to you once you have a Bits subscription include:

- Bits Store Card, you can shop in the Bits store (in app), where we offer a curated selection of electronics, and other consumer goods, available for purchase.

- Bits Credit Card, which lets you shop anywhere that Mastercard is accepted, with 0% APR and 0 late fees, and a foreign exchange rate that is the same as what you see on the Mastercard website

- Bits School of Credit, which has dozens of educational videos on credit building. These are not financial advice, and are general/non specific videos that you don’t pay for; they are free

- Bits Simulator, which helps you understand some general/non specific things that you should and should not do if you’re looking to build credit.

- Bits Rent Reporting, which helps you build credit by getting your rent reported (to Equifax)

- Bits Support: we are here, and will help you in any way we can! Our email is hello@getbits.app
