Grain uses your debit card establishes line of credit. I have tested it out and it is legit. Today it started reporting to Equifax. The largest line is $1000 I think. They use PLAID to link your bank account to analyze your income and expenses.
JASPER MasterCard uses same method I was able to get a $3500 unsecured limit with them.
I am 2 mo post CH7 on the rebuild so just showing others options I have found.

Thank You kindly from all us BK deep sea divers making some effort to claw our way up.
I have also used Grain. It was helpful and they cut all payments in half for COVID relief. Got a small $500 line but that was the highest I had at the time. Bumped my scores a little bit and helped UTIL.
Jasper just pulled TU for me. Got denied. They reported a score from TU of 615
MyFICO 8 is at 627 and I can't see any other score on my dashboard that is 615, the closest is 619 FICO bankcard 8.
Weird. In case anyone wanted some data points!
Did you link your bank account or send them paystubs?

Yes. I linked my bank account.
gross is 65k a year.
This is the first I have heard of these, but they have similarities with Earnin, which my husband has been using since around the time we filed BK a year ago. I'd use it but I don't have a paycheck income for them to verify, and they sure do look at all that - constantly. That and the main checking account used. It seems like it's checking overdraft - but administered by a third party.
