Transform Credit from Obstacle to Opportunity

Redbud's Products

  • With Debt Consolidation you can escape multiple debts by refinancing them into one affordable monthly payment.
  • Maybe you struggle with a single high-cost and/or predatory loan. Redbud's Credit Rescue refinances that debt at an affordable interest rate.
  • Payday loans are one of the most debilitating forms of credit. Our Payday Rescue loan will pay off a payday loan and allow you to escape from its "cycle of borrowing."
  • Homeowners through Redbud's affiliate, Housing Development Alliance, can access the HDA Homeowner Repair loan. This loan is designed to help you affordably finance needed repairs, keeping both your home and wallet safe.
  • Redbud takes a comprehensive approach to helping you achieve your financial goals. We couple each loan with Financial Literacy and Counseling Services. We create a unique financial counseling plan to ensure you reach and maintain your financial goals.

"We needed to make ends meet and Redbud helped us consolidate our debt into a monthly payment. The money we saved with our Redbud loan is going towards driving to doctor visits and dialysis treatments. They helped us so much!"

Our Purpose

Redbud Financial Alternatives was created by and for people living in the coalfields of Appalachian Kentucky. In our economically-distressed region, Redbud offers an alternative to predatory lenders that take advantage of individuals, families, and communities facing hard times. We help our clients recover from substantial debt and credit issues arising from high-cost lending practices and access the tools to maintain financial stability in the future.

Financial stability is about more than your credit score - it's about your life. Whether it's purchasing a home, advancing your education, or paying monthly bills, you have a goal in mind and we are here to help you reach it! Our staff will work with you to identify your goals and the obstacles you face, and then develop a plan to overcome those obstacles and build your financial stability.
