6 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I would give 6 stars if I could. KOHO is my favorite banking and I’ve been with all the big banks. KOHO allows you to use your own purchases to borrow money. So you never have to worry about something coming up unexpectedly. If you have a paycheck going into the account it comes a day earlier. Also gives you a cover amount in case you have a payment come out and no money in your account so you don’t end up with nsf fees. The best part about KOHO is that it helps build your credit.

Best bank ever

This is the best bank I've ever banked with. I have benefited at times from zero-fee plans, credit building, zero foreign transaction fees, and cash back on my regular spending. 11/10 would recommend.
