Personal Loan Process Explained Clearly

Step 1: Tell Us What You Need

You start by sharing basic details:

  • Loan amount range
  • Purpose of the loan
  • Contact information
  • State of residence

This helps determine which lending partners may be able to review your request.

Step 2: We Connect You With Lending Partners

Your information may be shared with one or more independent lenders that operate in your state.

Each lender has its own approval criteria, which may consider:

  • Credit history
  • Income and employment
  • Existing obligations
  • Application details

We do not influence lender decisions.

Step 3: Review Your Loan Options

If a lender can offer you a loan, you will see:

  • APR and interest details
  • Repayment term
  • Monthly payment estimate
  • Total cost
  • Any fees

Everything is presented clearly so you can compare and decide.

There is no commitment unless you choose to proceed.

Step 4: Final Review and Approval

If you choose to move forward, the lender may require:

  • Additional information
  • A hard credit inquiry
  • Identity verification

Approval is never guaranteed, and final decisions come directly from the lender.

Credit Check Information

Soft Inquiry (Initial Check)

Most lenders begin with a soft credit inquiry, which typically does not affect your credit score.

Hard Inquiry (Final Approval)

If you accept an offer, the lender may perform a hard inquiry.
 This may affect your credit score,  a normal part of the loan approval process.

 

We believe in being upfront about this so you always know what to expect.
