It’s now faster than ever to get loans without credit check.
In most cases – lenders in Canada do require a check on your credit report. Yet some out there don’t need to look at your credit history. Instead, they look at your current situation, such as how your income looks versus your debts. They believe that a full credit check isn’t necessary because the key factors that are currently relevant are specifically your ability to repay (income) and how much your current obligations are (your existing debt).
Do keep in mind with these types of lenders that the rates tend to be higher than traditional lenders.
Going this route is also much simple and faster to get money. This is because the only relevant information that’s looked at is the likelihood of you being able to make the payments.
The time to pay back everything is also much shorter, usually within a year at most by typically just a few months. Yet even with these terms, you’ll be able to get the funding no later than 48 hours after approval.
While it may seem like a great option for those looking for short-term financing, borrowers must ensure they check all the details beforehand.
Always make sure to check with the lender to see what their rates will be throughout the entire process, and carefully do research before considering borrowing any money from them.
What are some Advantages of No Credit Lenders?
- Holistic Overview – Lenders will look at you more than just your credit score and see your financial payment capabilities. They may look at items such as debt-to-income ratios as well as look at your overall net worth.
- Fast Money – These types of lenders can even be as quick as an instant approval and sometimes get you your money within 24 hours.
- Recover or build your credit – The funding you receive and the payments you may make on that debt will help your credit score grow and improve.
What are some Disadvantages of No Credit Lenders?
- It’s all about income and cash flow: Since credit scores aren’t looked at, they’ll look at other factors, such as your employment history and how consistent your salary history is.
- Expect to pay more: This means higher interest rates from these types of loans that don’t have a credit check.
- Small Borrowing Limits: With these types of loans – not only are the rates higher but also the amount you’re able to borrow, leaving you with a conservative loan.
You will find two types of loans in the no-credit-check category.
In the world of no credit check loans, you can choose two avenues or channels with them. You can either go with an unsecured loan or a secured loan.
Unsecured Loans
There’s no collateral or nothing attached to the loan. As a result, this tends to be a riskier option for the lenders, which means they end up putting in a higher interest rate and shorter repayment terms as the cost of lending the money out.
Secured Loans
Here you can put something up for collateral with a value that can be used in case the loan isn’t repaid. As there’s collateral being put up against the loan, the interest rates tend to be lower because there’s an easier way for lenders to recover funds for the loan.
Typical collateral loan examples are car loans – where you can put your car forward as collateral and usually borrow up to a certain amount of the car’s value, such as 50%.
Then there’s also putting up valuable items, such as precious metals and stones, for collateral. Their actual worth is the amount you’ll be able to borrow up to.
Is it safe to get a loan like this?
In the end, you will need to do your own due diligence. Always check the business and see if there’s anything negative about them. Be extra cautious when looking at your loan agreement, and ensure it isn’t predatory.
Some areas you should always look out for:
Rate: Always look at what the APR and APY are. Those with ultra-high rates will be hard to repay
Term: Short loans mean high payments to pay down the loan. Combined with high rates, it will increase the interest you have to pay back.
Approval process: No credit check doesn’t mean the money is loaned without any review. Be wary of no checks of any sort (income or otherwise) when applying for the loan.
