Other Credit.com Services
Loans: Credit.com is not a direct lender; rather, it works with a group of lending partners and acts as a sort of broker. The site can process applications on the customer’s behalf and can provide practical advice on choosing loans, ensuring approval, and getting good interest rates. There is also a loan comparison chart where the most common types of personal loans—unsecured, payday, auto, mortgage, refinance, and student loan—are laid out on a table comparing key features.
Credit cards: The site is also partnered with credit card companies and offers consumer information on choosing and using credit cards. A credit card comparison tool analyzes the key features of various credit card types, such as pre-paid, student, business, rewards, and secured. It also includes links to affiliated providers, as well as a Q&A section.
Information resources: The company also maintains Credit Bloggers (creditbloggers.com). It’s an informative blog discussing all things related ti credit and money—from tax and credit management tips to music and travel. The bloggers also entertain questions from readers. The blog’s most popular feature is the column “Funny Money Friday,” where they discuss the light, humorous, and sometimes mundane side of finance.
