- All credit products are designed to give customers the ability (but not requirement) to demonstrate good financial behavior. The reverse is also true - Late payments are also reported!
The account is reported and will appear on a customer’s credit profile within 30-60 days after the first loan payment due date
- The first payment is due 30 days from account opening date and due on the same day each month
How CreditStrong Business works:
A secured loan is issued to you, and deposited in a locked savings account in your name held at Austin Capital Bank, the 5* rated community bank that powers CreditStrong
- These funds are secured, meaning they are not made available to you immediately
Each month, you make monthly payments towards the secured loan which pay down the loan balance
Each payment is split into 2 portions
- Interest: Cost for keeping the account open, account maintenance, reporting, etc. Think of this as the money you pay CreditStrong to build your credit.
- Principle: this goes towards the loan balance and principal payments will be available for withdrawal on completion of your loan. Think of this as money you pay to yourself each month for future use.
Each month, we report payment behavior to Equifax, PayNet, and SBFA. (remember:
make complete, on-time payments so we’re reporting GOOD credit behavior!)
- We plan to expand commercial credit reporting to Experian and Dun & Bradstreet in the near future.
What happens when the loan is paid off?
- Once the loan is paid off, the secured savings account is unlocked
- The funds in the unlocked savings account can then be withdrawn
- Once the account is paid off, it will be reported to credit bureaus as “Paid in full with a $0 balance” / ”Paid off”
Canceling:
- You can choose to cancel early with no prepayment or early termination fees.
- If you cancel early, the difference is unlocked, and the funds in your saving account (if any) can be accessed and transferred to your payment method on file with no fees or penalties
- If you have already made the admin fee payment and 1 or more loan payment (It will be closed out and reported as “Paid in full with a $0 balance” / ”Paid off” (which is the same as if you were to pay it off fully – there is no difference in reporting))
- If you have not made any payments or have made the admin fee payment but not a loan payment. It will not be reported and will not show on your credit report o If you have made more than 1 loan payment and want to cancel early. We use your secured savings to pay off the remaining loan balance
