Saving up $1,000 in your checking account is a big milestone. But leaving the money in checking likely doesn’t make much sense since most checking accounts pay minimal or no interest.<\/p>\n

1. Build your credit with a debit card<\/h2>\n

Bad credit history? That means credit anxiety \u2026 and not getting approved for things like car loans or apartment leases. But if you aren\u2019t using the Extra Debit Card<\/a>, you\u2019re missing out. It lets you build credit with your everyday debit purchases. Don\u2019t worry though \u2026 it\u2019s an easy fix.<\/p>\n

Extra helps you build credit every time you swipe your card. Just sign up by connecting your bank account<\/a>, and they\u2019ll give you a spending limit based on your bank balance and other factors. No credit check is required. Then, just spend like normal. At the end of the month, they total up all of your transactions and report them to credit bureaus as credit-worthy payments.<\/p>\n

In addition to building your credit, you also get perks just like a credit card. You can earn up to 1% in points for everyday purchases like rideshares, coffees, and your phone bills. And there are no credit checks, no deposits required, and you\u2019ll pay 0% interest.<\/p>\n
