Who We Are

The Community Loan Center (CLC) of Dallas was established in 2014 in order to offer low-interest, low-fee personal loans to employees of enrolled employers as an alternative to high-cost payday and auto title loans.

Founded in 1990, BCL of Texas is a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) certified by the United States Department of Treasury and a licensed lender regulated by the Texas Office of Consumer Credit Commissioner (OCCC).
