    Does a passbook loan, help your credit or not. I am getting mixed reviews.

    I don't know what a "passbook loan" is. Is that like a revolving loan?

    Passbook Loan

    I don't know much about this subject, but I believe a passbook loan is basically a loan where you pay to borrow your own money. You use your savings account as collateral.

    I have heard mixed reviews about it establishing your credit as well. As I have heard, you should ask your bank whether it has a mechanism to report incidentals or small loans.
