CREDIT BOOST CD
Because Yes Is A Beautiful Word.
Say yes to a Credit Boost CD and you’ll hear it more often. After all, a credit score is one of the important determining factors when it comes to borrowing money – and getting a low rate when you do. The higher the number, the lower the risk. That means consumers with higher scores are more likely to get approved for credit, and to get the best interest rates when they do. And they are more likely to get discounts on insurance and look good to employers.
When you come in to apply, we will review your credit report together and discuss your credit goals with you. Whether you’re wondering how to establish credit or you’d like to improve your existing score, a Credit Boost CD is a great way to begin. It is a personal loan backed by a Certificate of Deposit that is designed to help you establish a good payment history, an important step in building a higher credit score. You make regular monthly on-time payments over time. At the end of the term, after you’ve made all your payments, you get the money in the CD or keep it invested. And you should see an improved credit score (based on your payment history).
If you have no credit or need to rebuild your credit, our new Credit Boost CD is perfect for you. Give yourself credit and what you own is the future. Contact your local branch to apply today and you can start hearing the one word that makes the future sound great.
