Personal Credit Boosters

Secured Credit Card

Credit Card Builder

This is a secured credit card in your name used for the sole purpose of helping you build your credit score.

To Do: A $200 minimum deposit is required. The higher the initial deposit the more it helps lower credit utilization.

Installment Account

Credit Strong

Your Credit Strong account automatically helps you set aside money in a savings account, so you grow your savings as you build your credit.

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 then you make monthly payments. You can also take out a credit builder loan from Self Lender. Each of 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 you credit.
