How a Credit Builder Loan works

Your Path to Better Credit in Three Steps

  1. Apply

  2. Make Scheduled Payments

    Make your scheduled monthly payments over the 12-month loan term to build a positive payment routine.

  3. Access Your Funds

    Once the loan is paid in full, the hold is released and the $1,000 becomes available in your HHCU savings account.

Disclosures

APR = Annual Percentage Rate. No minimum credit score is required to apply. A credit report will be obtained to determine the rate for which the borrower qualifies. All loans are subject to approval and HHCU lending guidelines. Loan proceeds are deposited into an HHCU savings account and held as collateral until the loan is paid in full. Making payments on time may help build positive credit history; however, HHCU cannot guarantee an increase in a borrower’s credit score.

Payment Example: $1,000 for a 12 month term at 9.90% APR results in a monthly payment of $87.87.
