Build It Loan
Does good credit feel nearly impossible to achieve? Or almost always out of reach? Maybe you’ve run into a few obstacles along the way, or you’re not sure where to start when it comes to establishing credit. No matter the challenge, our Build It credit builder loan is here to help.
Our Build It loan is unique in that it allows you to build your credit history while making payments towards your loan. Instead of receiving the loan proceeds upfront, as you continue making payments, you can either withdraw the amount you’ve paid (minus interest) or keep making payments until you’ve paid off the loan completely.
Once you’ve paid off your loan, your original loan balance will be available for you to withdraw and spend as you need it -OR- put it right back into savings to make your money work harder for you!
Think of the Build It credit builder loan as a way to help you start to Pay Yourself First, setting aside some money each month to save while building credit along the way.
