TrueConnect is a voluntary employee benefit program offered at no cost or financial risk to employers. Once enrolled, employees can access a small loan from an FDIC insured federal bank up to $3000 depending on income. A credit score is not used to determine eligibility so all employees, regardless of credit history, can qualify. Loans are repaid through automatic payroll deductions over a full year term. Free credit counseling is also available to any employee taking a TrueConnect loan.
About Employee Loan Solutions, Inc. (www.employeeloansolutions.com)
Employee Loan Solutions, Inc. developed the patented TrueConnect Loan program as a voluntary employee benefit to help employees access safe and affordable credit. The TrueConnect Loan is free for employers to offer and requires very little administration. Qualified employees get access to small dollar loans (from $1000 – $3000) that are repaid through automatic payroll deductions. Employees do not need a credit history, but can only borrow what they can pay back with 8% of their paycheck to help insure a successful loan repayment. On-time payments are reported to credit bureaus so borrowers can build up their credit scores. All TrueConnect Loan borrowers get 6 free credit counseling services from LSS Financial Choice, a federally accredited credit counseling program.
