I’m excited for you that your new Indigo card arrived in the mail! Activating it is a breeze. Just follow this quick guide and you’ll be ready to start building your credit in no time.
What even is this Indigo card thing?
The Indigo Mastercard helps people with not-so-stellar credit get approval for a card that can help build their scores. It’s issued by Celtic Bank to help you establish credit history.
The card gives you a real Mastercard number, so you can use it just like any other card online, in apps, and in stores. As you use it responsibly by paying on time and keeping your balance low, it reports to all three credit bureaus. Over time, this can help boost your credit score. Cha-ching!
Pretty neat, right? If you think so too, visit indigocard.com and click Pre-Qualify Now to get the ball rolling. It’s a soft credit check so no worries about dings to your score.
