What is a credit builder loan and secured card?

The credit builder loan. This is our flagship product, and it is one of the fastest ways to build your credit score. The credit builder loan is considered an installment loan (i.e. your payments are for the same amount every month for a specific length of time). Car loans, personal loans, and mortgages are all types of installment loan.

The secured card. This is a type of revolving credit (an ongoing source of credit whereby the amount you pay each month changes, and as you make payments more credit becomes available to you). Used by itself, a secured card will slowly and steadily build your credit score. This is not the same as a pre-paid card. To learn the differences, check out this post.
