Can I borrow against my own money?
Yes. Share secured loans are essentially a way for you to borrow, using your own savings as the collateral. Instead of using all your savings to make a purchase and losing your safety net, you borrow against that sum while your money stays in your account.
How does a Share-Secure loan work?
The amount of the loan is limited to the amount of money on deposit within the account. The credit union will place a hold on the amount you want to borrow against.
Will a Secured loan build credit?
Yes. These loans are reported to the credit reporting agencies. If timely payments are made, it may have a positive result on your credit score.
