Credit Builders Alliance

A Good Idea

Description

The mission of Credit Builders Alliance (CBA) is to help low and moderate income individuals build their credit and access conventional financing.

Reporting on-time loan payments is a cost effective way to help people build their credit, which can lead to lower interest rates and eventually asset building and financial self-sufficiency. Thus, CBA has worked to develop a relationship with various community lenders in order to ensure that these on-time payments are properly reported to the credit bureaus.

Goal / Mission

The mission of Credit Builders Alliance is to help low and moderate income individuals build their credit and access conventional financing.

Results / Accomplishments

The Credit Builders Alliance has succeeded in helping many of their clients graduate from no credit score to a credit score of 699 in just six months.
