Small Dollar Loan | Program Details
Consumers who need to save cash for their future or upcoming home purchase downpayment may benefit from an Artisans’ Bank Credit Builder loan. In this program, the funds from a small dollar consumer loan are deposited into a savings account at Artisans’ Bank, which serves as collateral for the loan.
As borrowers make their monthly payments, using their income (cash flow), they’ll not only be improving their credit scores, but also building their savings balances. Below is the basic outline of the program.
We look forward to speaking with you soon!
