*Community Bank’s Credit-Builder Loan doesn’t guarantee an improved credit score; many factors affect your score. Making on-time payments is the best way to build credit with this loan.

**To qualify for the Credit-Builder loan, you must be 18 years or older. A 36-month Credit Builder with $2,500 and an APR of 10.729% (36-month CD Rate + 2.50%) would have monthly payments of approximately $80.90. The stated APR is based on a monthly auto payment from a Community Bank checking account. APR may be higher without the automatic payment. Loans are subject to approval.
