Credit Building
Tyndall is here to help you establish or rebuild your credit history
Building credit is a crucial aspect of personal finance as it plays a significant role in shaping your financial future.
Credit refers to your reputation as a borrower and your ability to manage borrowed money responsibly. Lenders use credit scores and credit history to assess your creditworthiness when you apply for loans, credit cards, or other forms of credit. A solid credit history and a good credit score makes it easier for you to qualify for loans, credit cards, and other forms of credit.

Credit Builder Loan
What is a Credit Builder Loan? This is a starter loan product with a fixed loan amount and term for members who want to build or rebuild their credit. Loan payments build up in your savings account and are on hold until maturity. When the loan is paid off, your credit is improved and you will have a jumpstart on your savings. The Credit Builder loan is $2,000 for 24 months at a fixed low rate.
Secured Credit Card
A secured credit card works by allowing Tyndall to freeze the amount of your credit card limit from your own funds in your savings account. Freeze $500 of your savings money and open a secured credit card with a $500 credit limit. After a period of time, no less than 12 months, Tyndall will review your account activity and determine if the account can be converted to unsecured, which is a normal line of credit.
Account Secured Loan
An account secured loan is in which funds are held in your savings before the approved. After making regular payments on time, you will establish a positive credit history and improve your credit score. This is a great option for those who have limited or no credit history, or are recovering from poor credit.
