FAQ’s

Does applying affect my credit score?

Providing your basic information to view loan options does not impact your credit score. To determine how much you could qualify for, we conduct a “soft pull” of your credit. If you select a loan option and continue your application, we require a “hard inquiry” to verify the information you’ve provided on the application for final loan approval. This “hard inquiry” will be seen as an inquiry on your credit report.

How long does it take for my loan to be approved?

Based on your credit picture and the information provided on the application, LendingPoint returns your loan offer(s) in just seconds. Once you have selected your preferred loan option, we’ll ask for some additional information. In some cases, you may be asked to provide some additional documentation to help verify information on your application. Once any additional documentation is received and reviewed a final loan approval is completed.

What fees are associated with a LendingPoint loan?

There is no obligation or fee to apply for a loan. There are no prepayment penalties or charges for extra payments. Depending on your state, there may be a 0-8% origination fee included in your total loan amount.

Customer Support

LendingPoint has an excellent reputation for customer support before a third party approves a loan. It is accredited by the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and has an A+ rating. In addition, the company has an excellent Trustpilot score of 4.8 out of 5 stars based on over 5,000 reviews.

LendingPoint’s phone support is very prompt and professional. When we called, we were connected with a customer support representative within one minute.

Privacy & Security

LendingPoint uses security measures that comply with federal law, including computer safeguards, secured files, and secure buildings.

In Conclusion

LendingPoint is a customer service-oriented company that connects borrowers with its network of lenders; it does not lend money itself. The lender provides customer support once the loan is funded.
