Hard to contact support

I can’t say whether I like this card yet or not. I received my physical card, but can’t get it to activate and I can not get a hold of anyone with support.

Best app for credit building!

Firstcard helped me rebuild my credit score. My credit score was affected due to my careless spending behavior. But with this app, I was able to not overspend and build my credit score confidently. My credit increased 50+ points in a month! Give it try!!!

Loving My FirstCard Experience

Just started with FirstCard and I’m already impressed. The app is super straightforward, making it a breeze to navigate through everything I need. The cashback on purchases is a highlight for me. It’s great to see those rewards add up just from buying my usual stuff. Plus, the financial education part is a game changer. It’s not just about tracking your money, but really understanding how to make it work for you, which I love. No complaints so far. The mix of cashback and smart finance tips has been nothing but beneficial. Overall, my journey with FirstCard has been top-notch. It’s simple, enlightening, and full of perks. Perfect for anyone wanting to step up their finance game.

Credit score jumped

My credit score has jumped from 549 to 610 since starting with Firstcard just two months ago! This is my first experience with a credit product, and I’m incredibly grateful to Firstcard for helping me to build a credit score.

Great App

As an international student, building a credit score in a new country can be quite daunting. Firstcard has been a game-changer for me in this aspect! The app is user-friendly, and their features are tailored to cater to individuals like me who are just starting their credit journey abroad. I've found it immensely helpful in understanding and improving my credit score. Kudos to the Firstcard team for creating such a fantastic tool. Highly recommend it to fellow international students!
