A new app for singles isn’t focused on finding Pams for all of the Jims who know the best spot in town for margaritas—it just wants to connect singles who pay their bills on time.


Applications are now open to join Score, a limited-time dating app for people with credit scores of 675 or above, developed by the financial wellness platform Neon Money Club.

Score isn’t a Tinder replacement—it’s a social experiment aimed at making people 1) feel more comfortable discussing money in their relationships and 2) better understand personal finance. That’s why applicants who don’t make the cut receive resources on how to improve their credit scores.
