Acre is expanding into precious metals, starting with Gold. We’re doing this because we recognize a tremendous opportunity to create joy for our users by introducing a new way to buy Gold.

Acre lets you Roundup your spare change into fractional amounts of gold, but it will also securely store your holdings, let you track its value in our mobile-app and ship Acre-branded gold directly to your home. We’re still developing the product, but you can join the waitlist HERE.

We’re also selecting a lucky few to buy our Acre-branded Gold before anyone else. Let us know if you’d like access by emailing support@getacre.io

Best,

Brendon

Cred is rebranding as “Acre.” We’re doing this for a couple reasons which I’ll go into below, but the headline is that we’re expanding (almost) nationwide! This is a big deal, given that expansion was dependent on having success during our 4-state beta launch this Summer / Fall. All went well — we made brand new connections between high-quality cryptocurrency projects and the consumers who can benefit from knowing about them and buying their coins. More and more people are understanding the value of cryptocurrency, and to celebrate the win, we’re rebranding as Acre.

Why Acre?

Back in the day, an acre of land was something regular people could acquire and it was a symbol of value. To be a landowner was part of the American dream. Think how wholesome an acre sounds… ahhh. Anyhow, given that things have evolved and very few folks today, particularly in big cities, can no longer afford an acre , we’re borrowing the term as a representation of value . The same value we found in land we can now find in crypto or digital assets. In other words, crypto is something of value for today’s consumer — a new “acre.”

Expanding?

We are officially expanding to 42 new states beginning this week for Android and next week for iOS! This means we’ll be available in a total of 46 states. This will be great news to the 65% of our users who weren’t in supported states prior (to those users: we heard your requests). We’re really excited for this update, as it will allow us to help more regular people explore, buy and sell crypto assets. Unfortunately, we will not be operating in NY, WA, CT or OR for now, but hopefully sometime early next year. More on that to come shortly!

Will this affect me if I have the app?

No, we’re simply renaming our app, freshening up it’s design, and releasing an update. All you will need to do is update the app you already have. For most of you, automatic updates are probably already setup, but do us a favor and just make sure the app is updated. If not, you won’t be able to use it.

We’ll send a follow up email to you on the day the new app is live.

Anyhow, we’re now Acre, and if you see emails from support@getacre.io, please open and read them :)

Happy crypto buying!

We’ve heard your feedback regarding our fees and have listened. Effective today, we’re removing our subscription fee and adjusting our transaction fees to 4%.

This means we will no longer charge existing and new members a monthly $4.99 subscription fee.

Regarding the transaction fee of 4%, here’s how that compares to Coinbase’s transaction fees.

• If the total transaction amount is less than or equal to $10, the fee is $0.99 (or 9.9%, Cred would charge 4%)
• If the total transaction amount is more than $10 but less than or equal to $25, the fee is $1.49 (or between 5.9% and 14.8%, Cred would charge 4%)
• If the total transaction amount is more than $25 but less than or equal to $50, the fee is $1.99 (or between 3.9% and 7.9%, Cred would charge 4%)
• If the total transaction amount is more than $50 but less than or equal to $200, the fee is $2.99 (or between 1.4% and 5.9%, Cred would charge 4%)

In keeping with our focus on micro-buying and not breaking the bank, along with our focus on regular consumers, our new fees reflect the less expensive fees we charge for smaller buys.

We will always notify you of all Cred Fees and any other service fees that apply to each transaction immediately before you confirm each transaction and in the receipt we issue to you immediately after each transaction has processed.

Thank you for your continued business,

Team Cred

We’ve all heard it. Don’t invest in cryptocurrency: it’s not safe; it’s not even real! But, we all know that’s not true. In fact, it was recently announced that many Ivy League schools have invested portions of their endowments into cryptocurrency funds.

So what is cryptocurrency? At its very core, cryptocurrency is a decentralized digital cash system. Unintentionally discovered in 2008, Bitcoin (believed to be the first cryptocurrency) was created as a means to prevent “double-spending” in financial transactions. You know — kind of like “floating a check” … I pay you, then, before that money is withdrawn from my bank account, I pay someone else. At the end of the day, I’ve paid two debts with the same pot of funds. Not cool.

Bitcoin founders realized that processing all payments through one centralized place caused not only time delays, but also relied on a single source to validate whether or not funds were actually available. And so began the decentralized system which relies on the consensus of many to validate a transaction. But decentralization also means that cryptocurrencies are not typically “pegged” against another stable asset (think US dollar), and the coin’s value fluctuates… sometimes a lot!

According to Sherman Lee’s recent Forbes article, Explaining Stable Coins, the Holy Grail of Cryptocurrency, in a perfect world, cryptocurrency would have four key attributes: price stability, scalability, privacy and decentralization. If a coin possessed these four attributes, it could, theoretically, be practical for everyday purchases as well as desirable for longer-term investments.

So what is a “stable” coin? It’s a coin that is pegged (backed) by another stable asset, like gold, but NOT tied to a central bank. In essence, the coin has value as deemed by a “tangible” asset, i.e. gold, but the accountability of a decentralized network.

Recently, there are few projects attempting to solve the stability issue. Some are even pegging against the US dollar, and then backing with an alt. coin like ETH or Bitcoin. Both ETH and Bitcoin are available on the Get Cred app. If you haven’t checked it out, download the app and get started today!

As these projects continue to unfold, it’s not unreasonable to envision a world where we’ll be using cryptocurrency for everyday purchases very soon. And Get Cred is an easy way to start your journey.

Free coins? Oh yes we did! was originally published in AcreApp on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

Get Cred is introducing its app with “Buy $10/Get $10” offer — but only for a limited time!

Get Cred, the app which is on a mission to democratize consumer access to cryptocurrency, is changing the way people think about investing in the altcoin space.

If you’ve been thinking about taking the leap into cryptocurrency, today is your day! Download the Get Cred app for IOS or Android, purchase $10 of Komodo’s KMD, and Get Cred will give you an ADDITIONAL $10 KMD! You just DOUBLED your investment portfolio!

Get Cred has teamed up with its coin partner, Komodo (KMD) to offer a limited-time “buy $10 KMD, get $10 KMD”. Starting August 28th, 2018, when investors download or log into the Get Cred app and purchase $10 worth of KMD, Get Cred will match that investment with $10 worth of the same coin. Get Cred is offering the KMD coin match until September 3rd, 2018.

Why Get Cred? Why Komodo?

“We were very selective in the coin partners we chose to work with,” said Get Cred CEO/Founder Brendon McQueen. “Staying true to our mission, we naturally gravitated toward like-minded coin partners. Komodo shares our passion for bringing crypto to the masses.”

Komodo was founded with a strong focus on the principles of independence, autonomy, and collaboration. The Komodo team is focused on creating a fully-decentralized and open-source blockchain ecosystem.

In his article, Komodo (KMD) Review: A Cryptocurrency, DEX and ICO Platform, David Amoyal states, “Komodo strongly believes, first and foremost, that people should be free. This freedom includes the ability to make one’s own decisions as well as receive both benefits and consequences of those decisions.”

Komodo builds on the technology of the Bitcoin legacy system, taking the best of the original and improving it. The Komodo platform uses a “delayed proof of work” (dPoW) for its transactions, meaning that once a transaction is verified, it is also recorded on the Bitcoin blockchain for an added layer of immutability and security.

“We launched Get Cred about a month ago, and are excited to introduce new and seasoned investors to our app. Offering free coins is a way for investors to double their investment and engage with the world of crypto in a new way. It gives people a chance to get to know what Get Cred has to offer and makes it fun to get involved,” Get Cred CEO/Founder Brendon McQueen.

Get Cred is a platform that provides not only choice, but also ease of use, education and security. So it’s not hard to see why these two have joined forces!

If you’ve been thinking about investing in cryptocurrency, or if you just want to double your investment immediately, download the Get Cred app in your favorite app store, or click here.

Bringing Crypto to the Masses July 31st!

Ok, don’t laugh, but if I had a token for every time I sat down to learn about crypto, read a few articles, glazed over and ended up watching videos about fawns and hedgehogs who end up lifelong friends against all odds, I’d probably be as rich as Bill Gates. Or at least his dog, Oreo. I wanted to get in the game, but found myself overwhelmed with token options, non-intuitive technology, confusing lingo and constantly conflicting opinions.

That’s why I love Cred.

If you’re reading this and nodding, feeling my pain, thanks. If you’re reading this and rolling your eyes, I get it. You’re a more advanced investor, maybe you know a thing or two about the alphabet soup that sounded like Turkish to me. Maybe you already have crypto holdings of your own. But, get Cred is for you, too!

Cred uses two micro investing concepts that have been out there for a while and applies them to crypto: round ups and recurring deposits. The Cred team has also done the footwork for you, by conducting intensive research into over two hundred token companies to select the fifteen that met their rigorous standards for stability, mission, program design, functionality and more.

Here’s how it works:

App users set up their profile and link their bank account, pick their tokens and decide whether they want to round up or set recurring amounts. Round ups mean that for every purchase made using the linked debit or credit card, instead of the change staying in the bank, where it doesn’t earn returns and will likely get spent, it’s used to purchase more tokens. For example, I set my account to round to the nearest dollar and buy Komodo. When I buy my fancy-pants iced-dirty-chai-double-shot-almond-milk-light-ice (I know, I know don’t judge me) and pay my $6.25, the app automatically uses $.75 to buy Komodo. I’ll never miss that $.75 and now it’s working for me. All of those purchases we make every day, on lunch, gas, groceries, bills, all get rounded up and begin working for us. Pretty cool, right?

Another option is reoccurring deposits. Micro investing means you can set the app to buy tokens at whatever time interval and for whatever amount up to $1,000 at a time. Set it to buy $5 or $10, or even $1 if you want to start slow, in whatever token is available on the app and decide if you want that to happen once a week, twice a month, monthly, whatever makes sense to you. Like with rounding up, the small amounts add up and make gaining entrance to the market easy.

It’s the “set it and forget it” of crypto.

And that’s it! Simple, easy, accessible. Ready to begin?
