Credit Builder Loans

Credit Builder Loans

Whether you're new to credit or working to rebuild it, we're here to help.

Build or Rebuild Your Credit History

Borrow up to $2,000 to start building your credit history or to get it back on track. Loan funds will be placed on hold in a savings account while you’re making regular payments, and the full amount will be made available once the loan is paid in full.

Low, fixed rate

Your interest rate and monthly payment both remain the same throughout the life of the loan.

Choose a term that works best

The loan term you choose helps determine your monthly payment. Choose a term - up to 24 months1 - that works best for your budget and your goals.

Earn dividends while you build credit

We'll place the funds you pledge for the loan into a savings account where you'll earn dividends and build your balance as you pay down the loan.

Additional Loan Options

Personal Loan

Whether you’re consolidating debt or covering short-term needs, a personal loan can do it all. 

Certificate Secured Loan

Borrow against the balance in your existing Share Certificate at a low, fixed rate.
