Credit Builder FAQs
Credit Builder is a credit building product designed with affordability in mind. This product has a 36-month term that only costs $10/month. All payments (including missed payments) are reported to Equifax Canada.
Positive payments reported to Equifax Canada help you build credit, which is an important factor in qualifying for lower interest rates and better offers on credit cards, mortgages, loans, and more. Your payments are made automatically through a pre-authorized debit agreement, so you never have to worry about missing a payment. Borrowell does not guarantee credit score improvement, which is dependent on a number of factors such as payment history.
Below is a breakdown of what your monthly payments go toward:
Month 1 - 24: You pay $10/month ($5 goes to your savings, $5 goes to the subscription fee)
Month 25 - 36: You pay $10/month (but the full $10 goes to your savings)
Credit Builder is a $240 secured installment loan. Unlike a traditional cash loan, you don’t receive any money upon approval. As you make payments, they are reported to Equifax Canada. At the end of 36 months, your total savings of $240 will be directly deposited into your bank account. There is no hard credit check to apply.
It may not seem like your credit score impacts your daily life, but your credit score influences almost every financial move you make. A good credit score helps you access four major things:
Lower interest rates: Lower mortgage rates, car loans, and personal loan interest rates make your monthly payments lower, freeing more space in your budget for saving and spending.
Better credit terms: Higher approval chances for credit means you can make financial decisions about your future with confidence, whether you need additional funds for school, home renovations, or a new car.
Higher credit limits: You'll automatically qualify for higher credit limits, which gives you more financial flexibility in an emergency and makes it easier to maintain a reasonable credit utilization rate.
Top-tier financial products: You’ll have much higher chances to qualify for premium credit cards, such as rewards cards and cashback cards, along with other top-tier financial products.
Your monthly Credit Builder payments are reported to Equifax Canada and will appear on your credit report as an instalment tradeline under Borrowell. At the end of the 36 months, your total savings of $240 will be directly deposited into your bank account. $240 will also be the loan amount reported to the credit bureau for Credit Builder.
