Credit Builder Loan

Easily build your credit with low monthly payments, a short term, and a low fixed rate.

Building credit can be difficult. Many lenders won’t approve a loan unless the borrower has good credit, but borrowers can’t build good credit without borrowing. A Credit Builder Loan* from Centra can help you break the cycle and build the positive credit history you need for financial success.

Great if you need help with:

  • Deposit and first month’s rent on an apartment
  • Furniture and home supplies for your new place
  • Cushioning your budget while starting a new job
  • An emergency fund for big expenses
  • Major travel such as a vacation or honeymoon
  • Wedding and marriage expenses
  • A nursery and supplies for your new baby
