    FAQ

    Get the answers to your questions about Freekick, including our credit building services, educational resources, measures, in our FAQ section.

    With FreeKick your children are building their own personal individual credit profile with a primary credit tradeline that will stay with them. When a child is added as an authorized user to your credit cards, they are ‘piggybacking’ on your credit. When you remove them as an authorized user from your card, they will lose all of their payment and credit history from the card. 

    The authorized user approach has many drawbacks: 
    • You must have a credit card and your card issuer must allow and report credit on authorized users, and specifically minor authorized users 
    • You must have good credit; as an authorized user, the child inherits the primary account holder’s payment performance, so if the primary parent account holder pays late or misses a payment, it impacts the child’s credit profile and score 
    • Your child is not building their own credit (building their own personal credit and payment history), they are simply ‘piggybacking’ on your credit, when your child is removed as an authorized user, your credit history is permanently removed from the child’s credit profile 
    • Many lenders ignore authorized user tradelines and only extend credit based on primary credit tradeline history 
    • You must be willing to potentially allow your children to access to your credit card 

    FreeKick is available to parents of minor or young adult children ages 14 years up to 25 years.

    Only a FDIC insured bank can own a .BANK website in the United States and there are strict controls in place to prevent anyone other than a bank from obtaining a .BANK domain address. By using .BANK we can provide you with additional fraud protections. Over 90% of cyberattacks start with email phishing and by using .BANK fraudsters are unable to use a close misspelling of FreeKick (ex. FreeKlck.bank) in an email phishing attempt to trick you into providing your personal information or login credentials, because they cannot obtain a .BANK website or email address.
