Your financial coaches can work with you on a personalized action plan to: 

Qualify for a home or auto loan

Your coach understands what it takes to help you qualify for a home or auto loan. Working closely with Self-Help loan officers, your coach will help you develop an action plan specifically designed to get you approved for your loan.

Build a strong credit profile

Credit doesn’t have to be a mystery. Your coach can help you identify specific steps to improve your credit profile and raise your credit score — whether you’ve experienced credit challenges in the past or have little to no credit to start with.

Keep in mind: If you'd like to start by focusing on managing your credit score, consider our FICO® credit score coaching.

Start a savings habit

Whether you’re saving for a vacation with your family, planning to purchase a home or car, or preparing for retirement, a strong savings habit can help you get there. Together, you and your coach will make a savings plan that works for you.

Pay down unwanted debt

Unwanted debt can be a source of stress and get in the way of you achieving your goals. It can be hard to know where to start. Our coaches will work with you to develop a plan to tackle your debt one step at a time.

Keep in mind: For more comprehensive debt management, connect with our partners at GreenPath.  

 

We’re here to help you reach your financial goals!  

Whether you’re looking to buy a home, start a business, build up an emergency fund, or accomplish any other financial goals you may have, your coach will work with you to develop an action plan specific to your needs that will help you make it happen.
