Great concept and congrats on the bank partnership. Any plans for helping startups build business credit with Grain in the future?
@christianrjo This is an amazing app. I loved the sign up process, it was very easy and straight forward. The fact that the ss isn’t required to get the loan amount offer is no brainer. Congrats
@allanospina I’m not having a good time with the app I can’t get in with anyone and I never got my withdrawal it’s been two weeks I even canceled it and did it again still nothing
Congratulations Team Grain! This is a much needed product in the current environment.
I haven't been able to reach Grain Customer support for over a month. They don't respond to their emails, they don't answer the phones or twitter... Hell I even tried texting them... More auto responders... Now they are charging me late fees because my bank account information cannot be changed. I would never recommend this company to anyone based on their lack of customer engagement. As soon as I've figured out how to pay them off I'm closing my account. Hope I don't have to go to the FDIC but it might come to that based on their current lack of response.
Hey folks!
We’ve been working hard to build a product that makes people feel empowered through their credit management. Grain turns your debit card into a credit card by syncing with your primary checking account, analyzing your income and spending patterns; then offering up a line of credit tailored to you (not your credit score).
We never run a credit check. We never reject anyone. We don’t issue a physical card.
Key features include:
- Automated Payments
- Overdraft Prevention
- Automated Credit Builder
- Automated Credit Limit Increases
- Credit Score Monitoring
- Credit Reporting
- Personalized Credit Score Insights and Recommendations
In response to COVID-19 and to ease financial strain from those who might be feeling it right now, we’re cutting our minimum payments in half.
We’d be remiss not to mention our bank partner, Ponce Bank, who was critical in launching Grain. Our partnership with them has been truly innovative!
We’d love to hear what you think!
@christianrjo Might seem like a crazy question, but how did you manage to partner with Ponce? Really curious as I'm developing an app that hold funds until release at a later date and we've been looking at so many financial institutions that are not willing to partner with us for an innovative application development. Are you able to answer (even if privately) more about that? Thanks.
@christianrjo hi Christian. I have been a customer since Dec 2020. I need your help. One day my account was block and the app kept re-routing me. I always pay my bill on time and I’ve been building credit. I’ve been calling the 833 # no response, recording - that’s it. I came down to Regis in Oakland and no one was there to help me. I don’t want my credit ruined. I’ve been sending countless emails since December. One day my app said I need to submit my social security card and I need a picture of myself. When since December 2020 my bank account as well as me paying my bill in a timely manner. I need your help. I was also asked to make the payment to PayPal?
PLEASE HELP! I can’t get anyone to respond. Christina sent an email yet I can’t speak or talk to anyone
This is unreal - such an incredible entry point & the fact its focused on us not the score (which uses a predatory algorithm that encourages more and more lending) is fantastic.
@uzoma_bailey_ayogu Yes, the current credit score system is broken. We believe Grain provides a much better financial experience
I love what @christianrjo and team are building! Combines financial literacy, inclusion, and usability via a slick interface.
Congratulations @christianrjo and the Grain team for a successful launch. Already sharing with my network. kudos
Awesome product! Simple way to build credit. I know lots of folks who love being Grain users!
This is so needed right now and such a sleek product! Awesome that you've cut the min payment in half. Can't wait to recommend Grain to so many of my friends.
Congrats on the launch. This is a great offering, especially at a time like this.
