Savings and Credit Builder Loan
Bad credit? No credit? In this situation, many people find it hard to get a 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.

Here’s How It Works

Credit Builder Loans
APR=Annual Percentage Rate. Rates, terms, and conditions are subject to change and may vary based on creditworthiness, qualifications, and collateral conditions. Offer applies to consumer loans and does not qualify for commercial loans. All loans are subject to approval. Restrictions may apply; see credit union for details.
Improvement in credit score is dependent on multiple factors specific to your situation and financial behavior. 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.
