Experiencing the financial hit from layoffs? Right when you’re finally starting to get ahead and bam, a financial emergency. You have no choice but to use some of your rent money just to cover a bill or unexpected expense. Seems like you can’t catch a break. If only you had a little bit of extra cash to give you some breathing room. There is a solution for you! 

A Credit Builder loan from MoneyLion can help. You can get approved for a credit builder loan up to $1000 in a pinch with no credit check. This style of loan is first and foremost a way to build credit and save, but it has the added benefit of helping you access some cash to cover near-term expenses too.

Have poor credit? MoneyLion offers membership-based Credit Builder loans up to $1000 with no credit checks and competitive interest rates. For $19.99/month, Credit Builder Plus memberships come with additional perks such as 0% interest Instacash advances up to $250 and credit monitoring with weekly score updates.

You’ll start to see your credit increase with on-time payments because MoneyLion reports your payments to all three credit bureaus. Most MoneyLion members improve their score by 60 points within their first 60 days! When your credit score is healthy, you can unlock more opportunities with better interest rates in the future when purchasing a new car, getting a credit card, or renting an apartment. 

To qualify, you need to sign up for a Credit Builder Plus membership.

Sign up for a MoneyLion account and apply for a Credit Builder Plus membership. For $19.99/month, and you’ll have access to:

  •  Competitive APR on loans up to $1000

  •  Weekly credit score updates

  •  Monthly credit monitoring on the user dashboard

  •  Instacash Interest-free cash advances

  •  Lion’s Share Rewards, a cashback loyalty program

Note: Loan payments and membership fees are billed separately.

There’s no credit check, just link your bank account and MoneyLion will review your account for a few details:

  • Detectable income with recurring deposits, and your account in good standing

  • Account open for at least 60 days

  • Proof of acceptable account balance and active transaction history

You’ll know if you have been approved for a membership within seconds. On furlough or laid off? Unemployment, child support, and alimony qualify as detectable income as well! If you get denied, try linking another account or make sure you correctly entered your personal information. If neither of those work, you might have to apply again later after you’ve established longer account history with your bank with consistent deposits. 

Take a few moments to find out how to unlock a loan up to $1000 while building up your credit. 

Based on financial details from your linked bank account, you’ll get a credit builder loan offer with the funding released to you in two parts:

  • Some funds that you will receive the same day

  • Some funds that will be saved for you and that you’ll get when you pay off your loan in full

If you have a solid credit and banking history, the more you’ll receive upfront. Out of the total amount you are approved for, a portion is released to you the same day. The rest of the money is put into your Credit Reserve account while earning you interest. Think of it like instant savings!

Once you’ve paid your loan in full, the funds in your Credit Reserve account are released to you. This helps create healthy habits around borrowing and saving responsibly. 

Example of a Credit Builder Loan offer:

  • Approved for a $800 loan

  • Receive $300 of your loan today

  • We save $500 of your loan for you in your Credit Reserve Account

  • Continue to make 12 monthly payments on your full $800 loan 

  • After you pay off the full $800 loan, you’ll get the $500 from your reserves within 10 days of payoff.

On the MoneyLion app, you can track your progress and view loan details. The credit monitoring dashboard gives you all the details on your credit age, credit inquiries, utilization, and more!

Never forget a payment again. Managing your loans is seamless by syncing up payments with your pay cycle and deducting them automatically; this way you never miss a due date! Every month we will report your payments to all three credit bureaus.

Don’t waste your time with predatory payday loans and their high-interest rates, making it almost impossible for someone to pay back their loan plus interest by their next payday. This only creates a vicious circle of debt with no end in sight. 

With a Credit Builder Loan, affordable payments are stretched out over 12 months. Voted “One of the most innovative fintech companies in 2020” by Forbes, MoneyLion created banking with you in mind!

Credit Builder Plus membership ($19.99/mo) unlocks eligibility for Credit Builder Plus loans and other exclusive services. This optional offer is not a Pathward product or service. A soft credit pull will be conducted which has no impact to your credit score. Credit Builder Plus loans have an annual percentage rate (APR) ranging from 5.99% APR to 29.99% APR, are made by either exempt or state-licensed subsidiaries of MoneyLion Inc., and require a loan payment in addition to the membership payment. The Credit Builder Plus loan may, at lender’s discretion, require a portion of the loan proceeds to be deposited into a reserve account maintained by ML Wealth LLC and held by Drivewealth LLC, member SIPC and FINRA. The funds in this account will be placed into money market and/or cash sweep vehicles, and may generate interest at prevailing market rates. You will not be able to access the portion of your loan proceeds held in the credit reserve account until you have paid off your loan. If you default on your loan, your credit reserve account may be liquidated by the lender to partially or fully satisfy your outstanding indebtedness. May not be available in all states. Credit Reserve Accounts Are Not FDIC Insured • No Bank Guarantee • Investments May Lose Value. For important information and disclaimers relating to the MoneyLion Credit Reserve Account, see Investment Account FAQs and FORM ADV.

Credit score improvement is not guaranteed. A soft credit pull will be conducted which has no impact to your credit score. Credit scores are independently determined by credit bureaus, and on-time payment history is only one of many factors that such bureaus consider. Your credit score may be negatively impacted by other financial decisions you make, or by activities or services you engage in with other financial services organizations. MoneyLion is not a Credit Services Organization.
