“I've been using CreditLadder for more than a year now. I strongly believe that it has improved my credit score! Efficient customer service as well. I will not hesitate recommending it to anyone!”
“Can’t fault CreditLadder at all! They do exactly what it says on the tin and they do it really well! The customer service is always excellent if you have any queries or concerns, and the whole process of setting up an account, linking to your bank and getting tenancy confirmation from your landlord is simple and straightforward. For the price of a couple of takeaway coffees each month the “pro” option is 100% worth it too with reporting to all UK credit agencies”
"I've been looking for a way to increase my credit score that ties into my payment history for some time. Found out about Credit Ladder and right out of the door it was a great experience. Easy to use, seamlessly connecting with my Starling account where I have my rent direct debit set-up.
5/5 would recommend."
