In August 2021, Brenda dreamed of buying a house. But with such a low credit score, the mortgage company she approached said it’d be six years before she'd be in any position to do so.
Feeling defeated and stuck, Brenda turned to Karen M. at Everwise. Karen introduced her to Everwise's credit-building card and loan that—to her surprise—got approved.
Karen was open with Brenda that the credit-building process would take a couple years, but even so, Brenda was filled with a renewed sense of hope. She recalls, "It was a chance to develop patience and achieve financial success. Living paycheck to paycheck had been stressful, but these two more years were a valuable learning experience."
