About us
Who We Are
We are consumers just like you. That’s why we want to provide quality information and advice about dealing with loans, saving, credit cards, credit reports, and everything else in the world of personal finance. We have families that we love and want the best for – just like you.
We won’t recommend any service or website that we don’t already know. In fact, we’ve used many of them ourselves! And those we don’t have personal experience with have undergone thorough research and analysis to make sure we’re making the most helpful recommendations to our readers.
We will help you without the hidden games, misleading pop-ups, or “come-ons” that other websites offer Just simple, straightforward help solving the problems around credit and personal finance. We believe that just about anyone can start taking control of their finances to achieve their biggest priorities in life.
Another perk? We update our information constantly, so you don’t have to worry about out-of-date content slowing down your decision process. See something that fell through the cracks and needs updating? Let us know!
Quality content is our number one priority. We truly value the community we’ve built here and through our social media channels and appreciate any and all comments.
We're also proud to have been included in national media outlets such as Market Watch, NBC, CBS, Fox News, CNBC, Yahoo Finance, The Chicago Tribune, The Denver Post, and many more. Crediful’s commitment to independent recommendations and advice helps individuals across the United States each and every day.
Our Core Values
Awareness
We’re rooted in the philosophy that strong personal financial skills begin with a healthy credit report. Bad credit can be fixed – and we're committed to helping you do so. In fact, we started off primarily as a site that helped people improve their credit.
Knowledge
With awareness comes knowledge, information. Personal finance can be incredibly over-whelming with the vast amount of technical terms alongside the complex number game. The thing is, it doesn't have to be hard. We are here to help you digest various topics in a way that you can understand. As the old saying goes, you can’t know where you’re going if you don’t know where you’ve already been.
Getting ahead
Each and every day we will be watching, reporting, supporting, and providing the most beneficial resources for ordinary, everyday consumers like you to use. Our resources are jam-packed with helpful tips you can actually start implementing today.
Financial Freedom
We offer objective advice on financial matters so you can make smart, informed decisions and reach your most important goals in life. Best of all, the content on this site has been, and always will be, 100% free.
