How it works

Build credit while saving money, starting at $25 per month.^

1
Apply for a loan that is held by our bank partners.

Your money is secured and protected in a bank account.

2
Pay off the loan in 12-24 months^.

You can choose a repayment plan that fits your budget.

3
Each payment builds credit history and adds to your savings.

Your payments are reported to all three credit bureaus.

4
Get money back at the end after building credit history.

Your paid off loan unlocks and you get the money back, minus fees and interest.

"When I started Self Lender my credit was terrible and within the first 3 months my score increased 40 points!!!! It did take a few weeks before it reported the first time but it was well worth the wait."

Dawn M

"Self Lender has been a fabulous service for me, as I have started building my credit history. I jumped 30 points over the period of my account, and I just got my savings I built deposited into my bank account!"
