Loan Eligibility Requirements

Find out if you meet the basic requirements before you apply.

Basic requirements

  • Be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your state)
  • Be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident living in a state we serve
  • Have a verifiable regular source of income
  • Have an active checking account in your name
  • Provide a valid government-issued photo ID
  • Provide a working phone number and email address

What we look at

We consider multiple factors to decide whether we can offer a loan and on what terms:

  • Income and employment — can you comfortably afford the payments?
  • Existing obligations — your current debts relative to income
  • Credit profile — payment history and credit usage
  • Bank account activity — stability and history
  • State regulations — available amounts and terms vary by state

Tips to improve your chances

  • Check your information carefully so it matches your ID and bank records.
  • Apply for an amount you can comfortably repay.
  • Make sure your contact details are correct so we can reach you.
  • Review your credit report and fix any errors first.
Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee approval. Final decisions are based on a full review of your application.
