What is Credit Builder?

Credit Builder is a loan secured with a locked savings account. You pick the monthly payment that fits your budget, as low as $25. The monthly payment includes interest and principal. After 24 payments, the loan is paid in full and you have full access to the loan amount in the savings account.

How Does Credit Builder Help Me?

Each monthly loan payment made to your credit builder account will be reported to all three credit bureaus: Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax. Your on-time, monthly payments help you build credit and establish a better credit history!
