Lending Circles

To increase opportunities for financial growth, we are excited to offer Lending Circles through Bay Area nonprofit Mission Asset Fund (MAF). Across the world, friends and family come together to lend money to each other. With Lending Circles, MAF has transformed this practice into a safe way to build your credit. Participants make monthly loan payments and take turns receiving zero-interest social loans ranging from $300 to $2,400. All loan payments are reported to credit bureaus, enabling participants to establish or build a credit history and work towards greater financial stability.

To participate in a Lending Circle the following criteria must be met:

  • Be 18+ with an Income Source (Wages, Benefits, etc)
  • Have a Personal Email Account & Checking Account
  • Have a Valid Photo I.D. & SSN or ITIN
