Published: 29 May 2024

Author: Noah Gomez 

Finding the right credit builder loan is no quick feat, and it's easy to skip over strong local offers in favor of weaker national brands. In Iowa, we looked at over 20 banks, credit unions, and digital lenders.

Unlike most states, Iowa has a limited number of "Iowa-only" CBLs, so we've included a number of offers from across the nation.
