Teen Credit Builder Loan
This loan is one of the best ways to build credit for a teen who’s 16 or 17 years old… and can help build their savings at the same time.
Here’s how it works:
- We deposit $250 into an SCE Credit Union Savings account in their name, where it earns dividends
- They make on-time monthly payments of $29, based on simple terms we all agree upon
- As payments are made, we report the good payment history to the credit bureaus
- The funds that have been repaid are then made available to spend – or the money can be left in the account to earn more dividends
Pro Tip! Help them set up a monthly automatic transfer from their Teen Checking account to ensure payments are made on time, helping to build their good payment history. Too easy!
