WHO SAYS YES HERE
2CDFIs

Certified by the U.S. Treasury to lend where a bank will not. Nonprofit, patient, and used to a file that is not clean.

Champions First Credit Union · Loyalty Credit Union
9Credit unions

Owned by their members, not by shareholders. They look at your whole story rather than a score, and that is the difference when a bank says no.
