  • You make payments until the loan is paid off
 

ScoreUp Loan

  • You do not need credit history to qualify
  • Interest rates are low
  • When your loan funds, the money is placed on hold and held as collateral in a ScoreUp Savings Account
  • You make monthly payments until the loan is paid off and then you have access to the money in your ScoreUp Savings Account
