By Bethany Hickey Verified, Alexa Serrano Cruz Verified| Finder.com Verified As of June 2024, signing up for the Tomo card means getting put on a waitlist. You can go to the website and select Apply Now after entering your email, but it just says your card has been “reserved.” There’s no timeline as to when you’ll be able to apply, so if you’re really interested in the card, you’ll have to check your email for updates. Tomo doesn’t require US citizenship to apply — a nice perk, as most credit cards do. Tomo accepts either an SSN or ITIN with a government-issued ID.
By Bethany Hickey Verified, Alexa Serrano Cruz Verified| Finder.com Verified Kovo is best for someone who needs to start building a payment history or those on the road to credit repair. Kovo is rather affordable. While there’s no monthly fee, you’ll make $10 in monthly installments to add up to two years of payment history to your credit reports. Overall, it’s best for someone who wants to improve their credit score and avoid taking on debt. Most credit-building loans involve making monthly payments into a savings account.
By Bethany Hickey Verified, Alexa Serrano Cruz Verified| Finder.com Verified Most banks offer online banking services with mobile check deposits that require endorsing the check, taking a picture of it, entering the amount and submitting the deposit — all through your phone without the need to visit a physical branch. However, check deposits can take a few days to clear with most banks, but a handful offer mobile check deposits with instant fund availability. These banks make mobile check funds available immediately — or, at the very least, within the same day.
