Our Customers Know Best

See what our customers are saying about Zolve. Read their stories and experiences using our services.

In India credit score wasn’t a barrier but in the U.S. everything is interlinked with a good credit score. With Zolve I was able to build a credit score from day one. It’s very difficult to get an appointment to open a bank account, the process was hassle-free with Zolve.

I was able to use Zolve from the very first day I landed in the U.S. and it was very helpful since it is very important to have a credit history in the United States

Loved the onboarding experience with Zolve, it barely took any time at all. You also get your credit limit instantly instead of having to wait a few days like you would at a bank. Can’t wait to get the actual card once I reach the US!
