Credit Builder

Your Solution for Building or Repairing Your Credit Score

Need help improving your credit profile?  Credit Builder is a short-term loan offered to people who are either trying to establish good credit or repair poor credit. 

It’s easy to set up — just stop in and see us!
 

1. The bank makes a loan to the individual in an amount ranging from $500-$2,000 in a term ranging from 24-36 months.*

2. Loan proceeds are deposited in a savings account under the borrower’s name and available to the borrower upon full repayment of the loan. This means you are building credit and saving for the future at the same time!

3. Payments to the loan are made monthly and are set up to fit your budget.

Credit Builder is designed for anyone who wants or needs to establish good credit. You must be at least 18 years old to apply. 








Additional Benefits of Credit Builder

  • Establish or build good credit and keep the savings account First Community Bank opens on your behalf.
  • We will also reduce your loan interest rate if you participate in and complete our Financial Foundation for Adults Program available through our website.
  • Statistics show that people who receive rigorous financial education see higher credit scores and less chance of credit delinquency.
  • There will be an option to take one withdrawal from the savings account per year when the savings account exceeds the loan balance. The withdrawal can be up to the difference of the savings account and loan balance.

 

*A $500 loan with an APR of 9.99% for 24 months has a monthly payment of $23.07 and total payments of $553.68 over the 24 month term. Results are not guaranteed.  Improvement in credit score is dependent on multiple factors specific to your financial behavior. For example, late payments on other financial obligations may negatively influence your credit score, even if your payments on a Credit Builder Loan are current.
