  • Have a verifiable bank account

How your application is evaluated 

We look at several factors when reviewing your application, including:

  • Information from your application

  • Information about you from credit bureaus

  • Your credit score

  • Other information that predicts the likelihood that you'll make on-time payments until your loan is fully repaid

Applicants who qualify for the lowest rates have:

  • A high credit score

  • A low percentage of debt compared to income

  • A long history of successful credit lines

In some cases, you may need to add a co-borrower to help you qualify. If so, you can simply click Add a Co-Borrower on the application page to start a joint application.
