Programa de préstamos
Project Prosper recognizes the unique challenges in accessing credit and reliable financial information faced by recent immigrants and refugees. Our innovative loan program includes a 0% interest loan with matched savings, financial coaching, and credit reporting.
Loans are approved for one-time expenses with a maximum loan of $2,500, repayable within a 36-month loan term. While loans are 0% interest, participants pay 10% in “self-savings” to encourage a saving habit. Borrowers are also matched with a volunteer coach, whose role is to provide personalized financial education based on the borrower’s interests. When a borrower successfully pays off their loan the self-interest amount (usually $250) is returned to the borrower and matched with dollar-for-dollar gift funds if they have met with their coach at least 6 times during the loan term. A unique benefit of this program is that Project Prosper reports the participant’s payments to the three main credit bureaus allowing clients to establish or build their credit.
