“StellarFi prides itself on accessibility: there are no credit checks and no interest rates. StellarFi does not assume people have the extra money to take on debt through secured loans. We are solving the credit paradox of needing credit to obtain credit by paying and reporting household bills.”

StellarFi customers can use account information to directly pay for bills. They can also create custom billers.

Furthermore, the company pays members’ bills on their behalf, creating a payment cushion for members that gets reported directly as credit.
