Are you or your clients struggling to build credit? Well, credit builder loans are a solid option even for people with poor credit and no credit history. Credit builder loans are typically offered by local community banks, credit unions, and online lenders. They are considered small, low risk loans ranging from $5,000 to $3,000 and with terms of around six to 24 months. If you're unfamiliar to these types of loans, when you take out a credit builder loan, the lender deposits the loan am into a savings account. The lender then reports the loan amount to the credit bureaus and it improves your credit utilization. You then make monthly payments on that loan, which are reported to the credit bureaus, improving your credit history. And once you pay off the loan in full, the lender returns the money that you paid into the account.
