A new dating app called Score is designed to match people with a minimum credit score of 675.
The financially focused dating app targets the fiscally responsible market, with users needing credit scores considered good to excellent, as defined by most financial institutions.
“We decided to ask one question: ‘What should the minimum credit score be for someone you’re dating?… That question later became Score,” co-founder of the app, Luke Bailey, told TechCrunch.
Bailey said the app, created by the black-owned fintech company Neon Money Club, will allow people to discuss money issues in a realm often avoided: dating.
According to a SunTrustBank survey by Harris Poll, 35% of people blame finances for the strain in their relationships, reported CNBC Select, adding that 54% of people in marriages consider having a partner in debt a significant reason to entertain divorce.
Score is not the first dating app to bring money into the equation. Tinder created a new “exclusive membership” tier that requires users to pay a monthly fee of $499, or roughly $6,000 for an entire year, according to Fox 4 KDFW. This cost hurdle acts as a filter, allowing only those users who can cover the high fee to join the service.
Score will only be available for roughly 90 days, and interested users must apply for access. Neon Money Club will perform only a soft credit check, so the service will not impact your credit score.
