We use pre-set criteria to check your eligibility for our loan services. If you received a letter, it means you were invited to apply based on the pre-set criteria. However, receiving this letter does not mean you automatically qualify. If you are interested in our loan services, you can complete our application and review your offer.

Automated Clearing House (ACH) is an electronic network for financial transactions in the United States. The ACH network processes millions of transactions every day. This includes payroll direct deposits and vendor payments.

ACH is one way your payments get to Balance Credit. The payment transfers as an Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) from your bank account. The payment will then go through automatically if there are sufficient funds in your account on the day payment is due.

The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is a percentage that represents the annual cost of funds over the term of a loan. At Balance Credit, APR includes not only the interest charged but all fees and costs associated with the loan. This includes origination fees and closing costs.

By doing so, we provide a more comprehensive view of the total cost when borrowing. By showing these costs as an annual percentage, you can easily compare loan offers and understand the true cost of a loan over its lifetime.

APPLICATION

You can apply through our website. We provide a simple online loan application that you can complete anytime. We are unable to submit an application over the phone or through the mail. If you need assistance with the application, our support team is available to help.

When applying, you will need the following:

  • Your Social Security number
  • A valid email address
  • A valid phone number
  • Your source of income details
  • The routing and bank account number where you want to deposit your loan

To qualify for a loan with Balance Credit, you must meet the following requirements:

  • Reside in a state in which we operate
  • Meet the minimum age requirement for your state*
  • Have a valid email address and verifiable phone number
  • Have an active checking or savings account that has been open for at least 30 days and is not linked to another Balance Credit account
  • Have a proven source of income that meets the underwriting criteria

Other requirements may apply. Products are not available in all U.S. states. States serviced by Balance Credit are subject to change.

Applying will not affect your credit score. Balance Credit does not perform a hard credit inquiry with any of the three major credit bureaus. This means you can explore loan options without worrying about a negative impact on your credit. Our application process is simple and stress-free so you can get the funds you need when you need them.

While applying for a loan with Balance Credit won’t affect your credit score, taking one out may have an impact. Consistently making payments on time can improve your credit score. Missing payments or failing to pay back your balance could result in a significant drop in your credit score. This could affect your ability to secure credit in the future.

The loan amount you qualify for is determined during the application process. If approved, the amount can range between $100 and $3,000. This depends on your state of residence and specific credit criteria. If you pay off a loan on time, following your contract terms, you may be eligible for a larger loan in the future.

To apply, you must have a checking or savings account with unlimited debit and credit privileges. When you apply, you will enter your bank routing and account number on the application. To be eligible, this account cannot be linked with another Balance Credit account.

After completing the online application, you can click “AGREE AND CHECK YOUR ELIGIBILITY” to see if you automatically qualify.** You will get a message about your application status, or we will notify you if you need to provide additional verification. If your application was not approved, you will receive a Notice of Adverse Action within 30 days that will explain the decision.

When applying, you will provide your bank routing and account numbers. Once approved, your funds will be deposited directly into the bank account provided. Balance Credit utilizes direct deposit to automatically put funds into your account monthly.

Applications processed and approved before 6 p.m. CST on business days and before 4 p.m. CST on Sundays are typically funded the next business day. If you apply online after the cut-off, your application will be processed the next day. It is not uncommon for customers to receive their funds within 24 hours of applying.**

REPAYMENT

There are no penalties for early or additional payments. If possible, it is always encouraged. Paying off your account early can help you save on interest and finance charges. If your budget allows, we encourage you to consider the following:

  • Pay off your balance as soon as possible. The sooner you settle it, the more you’ll save on finance charges.
  • Pay extra on your due dates. Doing so can reduce the number of future payments and help you save on finance charges.

If you can’t make a payment on time, don’t panic. Reach out to us as soon as possible. We’ll discuss payment extensions or other arrangements that may better suit your needs. If you don’t contact us, additional interest may be charged for missed or partial payments. 

Please contact us 3 business days before your scheduled payment date to discuss how we can assist you.

Payments can be made bi-weekly, semi-monthly, or monthly. Most borrowers choose to pay with automated withdrawals from their bank account. This helps you stay on top of payments with minimal effort. You need to ensure there are sufficient funds in your account on the day the automatic payment is due.
