YES! With KOHO Credit Building, you can establish a credit-building line of credit.

Although you can’t access the money from this line of credit, the monthly subscription fee will be reported to one of the credit bureaus in Canada. This means you can steadily build a healthy credit history and unlock new financial opportunities.
