It also flags the warning signs of predatory lending so you can protect yourself.

WHO SAYS YES HERE
8CDFIs

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

Blue Coast Credit Union · Champions First Credit Union
15Credit 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.
