Boost Credit While Building Savings

Our ScoreMore Loan offers the unique opportunity to build credit while also growing savings. Here’s how it works: on-time monthly payments are reported to the credit bureaus and added to a savings account. Once the final payment is made, the money in the savings account is paid out. On average, the ScoreMore Loan boosts credit scores by 60 points and increases savings balances by $253! That’s what we call a win-win. No credit history or cosigner needed to apply3.

Open a Saver CD with as little as $50 and see a guaranteed return over a 12-month term thanks to a fixed interest rate. Plus, enjoy the flexibility to add to it at any time through Online Banking4.
