My daughter uses the Pomelo card everyday to buy her meals and supplies. She stays within the budget we give her. Instead of waiting for the due date to pay the bill, I can just pay it off weekly. You can set the limit of each additional card. For me it's convenient instead of sending money every week.

Pomelo creates convenience where there is none. I wish our family had Pomelo back in the 90’s instead of my parents continuously giving fees to Western Union.

This has been a fantastic card for me and my fiance! I highly appreciate the ability to send money to GCash with Pomelo, because GCash does not allow foreigners to sign up with them without a local PH number and national ID.

Sign up now and start sending money to GCash with Pomelo Mastercard®!

Because Pomelo is the first to combine credit with money transfer, providing your SSN allows us to verify your identity and provide you a credit offer that helps you earn rewards and build your credit whenever you send money overseas. Your SSN is not stored or read by Pomelo, and only transmitted securely to an identity verification service for our bank partner, Coastal Community Bank, member FDIC, to confirm your identity.

No - viewing your credit offer does not affect your credit score. This is called a soft pull. For customers who accept and receive credit from Pomelo, we then perform a hard pull with the credit bureaus to formally open your credit line. This will then show up on your credit report, but on-time payments will typically help your credit score, not hurt it.
