Hey konschubert, first off thanks for your feedback and poking holes into our product, it really helps us with our planning especially in the early stages of our company.
We are building this product as an alternative to what exists in the the market today. One of the problems we solve with not giving cash to the consumers like alternative lenders is that we can kind of control where the money is spent. Illicit goods have to be purchased with cash and with a card method, our consumers will be spending with reputable retailers where CCs are accepted.
Another problem is that the primary method for these consumers to solve their money issues include loans and credit cards with high interest rates, fees that make money when a consumer carries a balance. With our 30 day payback, we want to make sure those fees don’t happen, we strictly want to focus on monetizing through the interchange fee and once we grow, partner offers similar to how seated and freebird work. Also, regarding the limits, since we have transparency into their bank accounts, we will grant limits that are within the means of being paid back by our users.
Lastly, regarding the privacy issue, totally understand that point of view. This card is built for someone that has no other option because they are new or have bad credit. We want to bring them into a world of manageable credit that helps them grow into the next level of cards whether that is with us or another company.
Hey everyone, Varun, founder of Rebl here. We are looking to build a product that isn't predatory towards the people that need help the most. Locking individuals into a high-interest rate card is the current trend of the market and at Rebl, we want to change that.
Rebl is thin file charge card designed for those with steady cash flow but relies on access to their bank account instead of their credit score. Our ideal consumer is someone with low or no credit, as well as someone who may have damaged their credit in the past but is rebuilding. We set a low starting limit that grows with the consumer's needs with a 30-day revolving payback window. Because of the payback period and full transparency into a user's financials which also us to make on the fly credit decisions, we carry low amounts of risk compared to our competitors and see this as the future of credit.
We are here trying to empower individuals that work in the service and hospitality industry. Right now we help you get hired, but more in the pipeline to come. Thanks for checking us out!
