A credit-builder loan or account helps you start or rebuild credit when you have little or none. You make small monthly payments, the company reports them to the credit bureaus, and on-time payments build your history. Late payments get reported too and can hurt. These are what each provider says on its own page.
Chime describes it as a secured card; requirements to open (such as a Chime account) are set out on Chime's page.
