FAQ

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.
