What do I need to get started?
We're thrilled you want to join Self Lender!
Here's what you need to start your credit building journey:
· A bank account or debit card or prepaid card
· Email address
· Phone number
· Social security number (SSN)
· Be a valid permanent U.S. resident with a U.S. physical residence
· At least 18 years of age
Please note when using a debit card, you will incur a convenience fee of $0.30 + 2.99%. In order to avoid a convenience fee, please link a bank account.
When do I receive the money?
Unlike a traditional loan, a credit builder account does not allow you to immediately withdraw the money upfront. Instead, your 12-month or 24-month loan is immediately placed into a FDIC-insured, 12-month or 24-month certificate of deposit (“CD”) account that earns 0.10% APY†. The CD account is held in your name at City National Bank of New Jersey. These funds are locked and not available for withdrawal until the loan is paid in full.
For example, if you have a $1,100 credit builder account that started on today with a 12-month term. Your CD would mature on 12 months from todaywith$1,101.10.
The credit builder account is designed to help you help yourself save money and establish credit history in a safe, responsible way. If you need access to money immediately, you should consider contacting a traditional lender.
Do I need a bank account to sign up?
