Memberships automatically renew until canceled. Secured lines of credit are provided at 0–9% APR based on your credit worthiness. You are required to maintain a security deposit with Lead Bank. Other third party fees may apply. See your offer for more details. Positive rent payment history and information about your line of credit may be reported to one or more national credit bureaus.
