Credit Builder

Unlike a share secured loan where you need to provide the money upfront, a Credit Builder puts the funds you borrowed in a savings account to secure the loan. As you make payments, the amount paid towards the principal balance becomes available. Example: Your credit builder loan is for $2,000 - that entire amount is put on hold in a savings account to secure the loan. You make your minimum monthly payment of $100; $95 is applied to the principal and $5 is paid in interest. The secured amount in your account reduces by the $95, and those funds can be withdrawn (if you would like).
