Bits offers a credit-building service designed to help individuals improve their credit scores without the burden of high-interest rates or hidden fees. The service works by allowing users to enhance their credit scores with major credit bureaus like Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion, all while avoiding hard credit checks. Users pay a monthly subscription fee to access the service, which includes educational resources such as videos and a score simulator to help them understand credit and improve their scores. Unlike traditional credit products, Bits does not charge interest or late fees, making it accessible to a wider audience, including those with poor or no credit history. Bits differentiates itself from competitors by focusing on transparency and user education in a market often seen as complex and unfriendly. The goal of Bits is to provide a straightforward and risk-free way for individuals to build their credit scores.
