Credit Builder Loan

Apply for a loan designed to build and improve your credit.

What You Get With a Credit Builder Loan

  • Build or improve credit safely: Your on-time payments are reported to major credit bureaus, which helps establish a positive payment history. This loan can also help diversify your credit mix (installment vs. revolving credit like credit cards)
  • Lower rates on Share Secured Credit Builder loans: if you secure your loan with your own funds, the interest rate will be lower.
  • Increase savings: As you make payments, your original deposit remains untouched and may even earn dividends. As you pay down the loan, the funds are returned to your savings account.
