About bad credit loans
A low credit score does not define your financial future. Many people have a thin file or past setbacks — a medical bill, a job loss, a divorce — that dragged their score down. We review your whole application, including income and stability, so a score alone does not close the door.
Approval is never guaranteed and rates may be higher for higher-risk profiles, but we show you the full cost upfront so you can decide whether the loan makes sense. Responsible, on-time repayment may also help you build a stronger credit history over time.
Common ways people use this loan

Tips before you borrow
- Check your credit reports for free at AnnualCreditReport.com and dispute errors.
- Only borrow an amount you can repay from your current budget.
- Make every payment on time — set automatic payments.
- Avoid taking multiple loans at once.
Borrow responsibly. Representative example: a $1,000 loan repaid over 12 monthly payments at 24.99% APR would have a monthly payment of about $95.04 and a total repayment of about $1,140.47. Only borrow what you can comfortably repay.
Frequently asked questions
What credit score do I need?
There is no single minimum score. We consider income, employment and your ability to repay alongside your credit profile.
Will applying hurt my credit?
Checking your options may use a soft inquiry. A hard inquiry may occur if you accept an offer — we explain this before you proceed.
Is approval guaranteed?
No lender can honestly guarantee approval. We make a responsible decision for every applicant.
