FAQ

Will you check my credit?

For loans under $800, we review a credit report from an alternative reporting agency rather than the three major credit bureaus. For loans over $800, we pull a TransUnion report.

Already have a loan or two?

That’s no problem, you can still apply even if you have a loan now. We’ll review your situation and go over your options with you.

On SSI or fixed income?

Yes, you can still qualify with steady income. Just bring your most recent award letter so we can verify your income and move forward.

Concerned about payments?

We’ll go over everything with you upfront. Our goal is to make sure your payment plan fits comfortably within your monthly budget.
