Really helps me not overspend

I recently opened a credit card with Firstcard and I love it! I appreciate the fact that I can deposit money into my account and that’s all I can spend. This feature is really helpful because it allows me to not overspend and be more frugal about what I’m spending every month.

The nice layout of the app is another benefit because it’s really easy to navigate it and it’s nice on the eye. Overall I really have been enjoying my Firstcard and have been recommending it to friends.

Great App

As an international student, building a credit score in a new country can be quite daunting. Firstcard has been a game-changer for me in this aspect! The app is user-friendly, and their features are tailored to cater to individuals like me who are just starting their credit journey abroad. I've found it immensely helpful in understanding and improving my credit score. Kudos to the Firstcard team for creating such a fantastic tool. Highly recommend it to fellow international students!

Loving My FirstCard Experience

Just started with FirstCard and I’m already impressed. The app is super straightforward, making it a breeze to navigate through everything I need.

The cashback on purchases is a highlight for me. It’s great to see those rewards add up just from buying my usual stuff.

Plus, the financial education part is a game changer. It’s not just about tracking your money, but really understanding how to make it work for you, which I love.

No complaints so far. The mix of cashback and smart finance tips has been nothing but beneficial.

Overall, my journey with FirstCard has been top-notch. It’s simple, enlightening, and full of perks. Perfect for anyone wanting to step up their finance game.
