Startup credit card companies are still evolving, so you may encounter difficulti­es that you’re less likely to see with cards from major issuers. There may not be a mobile app to manage your account, for example, or you may encounter technical issues or delays.

“We are building and improving our product as fast as possible and working on it every single day,” says Jason Gross, cofounder and CEO of Petal.

Your future self may need credit

Unless you plan to pay cash for all future purchases, big or small, your future self will likely need good credit. Having it can save you money later when you’re buying a home or a car, for example.

Anshul Agrawal, a 28-year-old data scientist in San Jose, California, establishe­d credit with a card from an alternativ­e issuer. By getting an early start, he qualified for a low interest rate on a car loan. He’s now reaping the rewards offered by traditiona­l credit cards. “It’s kind of a credit steppingst­one,” he said.

Alternativ­e credit cards generally report payment informatio­n to major credit bureaus — TransUnion, Equifax and Experian. These companies gather the informatio­n used to calculate your credit scores. Payment history is the biggest single component of credit scores.

Building credit with a credit card

Once you get a card, build good credit by making only purchases you can afford. Aim for a credit score of 690 or higher. There are plenty of apps to track your progress. Here are some tips to help you manage your first credit card and use it to build credit:

• Pay on time and in full every month to avoid interest.

• Use less than 30 percent of your available credit limit.

• Keep the account open and active.

• Check your statement for errors.

• Get your free annual credit report. This article was provided to The Associated Press by the personal finance website NerdWallet. Melissa Lambarena is a writer at NerdWallet. Email: mlambarena@ nerdwallet.com. Twitter: @lissalamba­rena.
