Why Choose a 1st Advantage Credit Builder Loan?
Unlike a typical loan, instead of receiving the loan amount within a few days you’ll make monthly payments toward the loan account to pay the amount you’ve been approved for.
Save Money
We’ll place your payments in an NCUA-Insured Certificate until your full loan amount is reached. This is a great way to help build an emergency fund, or save for another financial goal down the line.
Build Credit
1st Advantage reports on-time payments to the three major consumer credit bureaus, Equifax, Experian and TransUnion.
Simple Process
We make the process easy with a simple online application and quick closing!
