All FAQsWhy does Ava exist?
Ava is here to help you build credit and save money on debt. The best way to tackle debt is to find the lowest cost of debt possible so you pay as little as necessary. We create a personalized step by step plan, first by helping you build (or rebuild) your credit history.
How does Save & Build Credit work?
Ava Save & Build Credit4 is the perfect way to build a nest egg AND your credit history. Save & Build Credit is a secured loan where you simply pay $25 a month for 12 months. You get back $300 at the end of the term. An origination fee to cover costs applies in some states9. When you commit to this program7, we report each on-time loan payment to the credit bureaus to build your payment history8. You get your money back at the end of the term. It's a win win!
It's important that you make on time payments towards this secured loan. If you miss payments or stop payments before the term is over, we will have to report a missed payment to the credit bureaus which may hurt your credit score. Make sure you're ready to make the commitment.
How do you handle data and security?
We never sell your data or save your banking login. All your personal information is kept safe with 256-bit encryption.
Which Credit Bureaus do you report to?
We report to ALL three major bureaus (unlike most credit building products in the market). We report your file to TransUnion, Equifax and Experian within the first week of you joining Ava. You should see the Ava tradeline on your credit report within a week. Our goal is to help you add credit history as soon as possible. 74% of our members see a score improvement in 7 days or less1. Moreover, your on time payments are reported to all three bureaus within 24 hours. We believe you should not have to wait months to start seeing results that's why we are the only credit building app that reports daily instead of monthly.
