Brooklyn wants you to know

Using a balance transfer as an interest free loan so I could complete a kitchen remodel. Taking my family on fantastic vacations for free or much less than the cash value. Knowing my credit profile is strong and I have access to the best financial opportunities and terms. These and more are reasons I’m passionate about helping consumers understand how to build credit and use credit cards responsibly so they can truly go to work for you.
