1Results are not guaranteed. Improvement in your credit score is dependent on your specific situation and financial behavior. Failure to make monthly minimum payments by the payment due date each month will result in negative reporting to your credit report which will not improve your credit history. 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.
The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) will be fixed for the full term of the loan based on the Prime Rate published in the Wall Street Journal, effective the date of application, plus .50 basis points. The Prime Rate published in the Wall Street Journal as of 12/20/2024, plus .50bp, is 8.000%.
APR Example loan payment schedule: A $1000 Credit Builder Loan with an Annual Percentage Rate (APR) of 8.000% for 12 months has an approximate monthly payment of $86.99. Your monthly payment will vary based on the loan amount and term. Actual payment amounts may be higher.
