What are common New Year's financial resolutions and why do they fail?
I once interviewed the CEO of a credit bureau, and he confessed that his assistant has a better credit score than he does. Why? Because she's more organized. Yep, even the head of the credit bureau can use a little help in the credit score department. If you can too, then listen up, because Chime has a card that can help you do just that. Chime turns everyday spending into real rewards and progress. Not like old school banks that charge you overdraft and monthly fees. Built for you, not the 1%. Imagine cash back and credit building with your own money finally on the same card. No annual fees, no interest, and no strings attached.
How can friction be your financial superpower?
