Savings and Credit Builder Loan

Bad credit? No credit? In this situation, many people find it hard to get loan approval when they don’t meet the credit criteria and turn to credit building methods that put them more at risk. Savings and Credit Builder loans are a great way to build your credit history with less liability than a credit card.

Credit Builder

Need help building your credit? Use this loan to build credit history and as an opportunity to establish a positive payment history.

Here’s How It Works.

With a typical loan you receive the funds upfront and pay it off monthly until the loan is complete, but with a Credit Builder, loan payments are required upfront before funds are released. This loan has a fixed rate, and no credit pull is required, so it is a great loan alternative for members who typically couldn’t qualify for other unsecured credit building methods.

Savings Builder

It is never too late to learn good savings habits. Use the Savings Builder loan as a commitment to save money while also building credit and payment history.

Here’s How It Works.

This loan’s sole purpose is to help build a credit history while also building savings. The best way to explain this loan is that it works in reverse from a standard loan. A typical loan you receive the funds upfront and pay it off monthly until the loan is complete.

A Savings Builder loan requires payment upfront before funds are released. When the loan has been paid in full, you will receive funds into your savings account. This loan has a fixed rate, and no credit pull is required. The best part about this loan is that the member can decide the amount and terms.

For example, late payments on utility bills, car loans or credit card accounts would negatively influence your credit score, even if your payments on a Credit Builder Loan are current.
  • Failure to make required monthly minimum payments by the payment due date for the Credit Builder Loan will result in negative reporting to the credit bureau and will not improve your credit score.
  • This product will not repair your credit, and negative credit history will not be removed from your credit report as a result of this program.
