Credit Compound

Upgrade

A fintech lender whose Visa cards convert each statement balance into a fixed-rate installment loan with a set payoff date, issued through Cross River Bank. The structure swaps the open-ended revolving trap for forced amortization, which can genuinely help borrowers who carry balances. Cards have no annual or late fees.
