CREDIT BUILDER LOAN
Self Lender
There is no credit inquiry with a credit builder loan, so applying will not affect your score. These loans differ from traditional loans because you do not receive money immediately. Instead, a bank will put the loan into a secured account, and you will make monthly payments. You can also take out a credit builder loan from Self Lender. These payments are reported to the credit bureaus, thus building a payment history. When the loan is paid off, you can access the money. It’s like a savings account that also builds your credit.
