Kikoff
is hiring
Data Analyst, Operations
About Our Company
Kikoff was founded in 2019 with a not-so-simple goal: make it easier for people to build credit.
Credit plays a huge role in our lives, from opening a credit card to qualifying for a home loan. But there’s a catch, it’s easier to build credit, when you already have it.
Co-founders Cynthia Chen and Christophe Chong understood this challenge first hand, so they built a solution. Kikoff’s main product is our Credit Account, a specialized, reported tradeline exclusively focused on building credit. To make Kikoff even better for users, we’ve added other great features like Rent Reporting, Bill Reporting, and Identity protection tools.
