No Credit Check Loans in Canada

No Credit Check Loans

Are you searching for a “no credit check loan?” People who look for these types of loans are often denied loans due to having bad credit. Since most hard credit checks also reduce your credit score, it makes it even harder for you to raise your score and can set up back when it comes to getting a loan when you need it most.

Friendly Lender understands that credit checks can be a barrier to getting a loan in a situation where someone has bad credit. We don’t want you to mislead you with talk about No Credit Check Loans and know your options, or struggle even more than you already are.

What is a No Credit Check Loan?

“No credit check loans” in Canada are most often searched for in relation to short term loans, where lenders don’t do a full credit check with one of the larger credit reporting agencies that will affect your credit score. Instead, lenders of short term loans, are more likely to do a soft credit check that looks at your employment history and your ability to repay the loan within the term instead.

While every lender has their own way of reviewing a borrower or loan application, ranging from using alternative credit check options like the bureaus recognized for ‘soft’ credit checks from companies like TeleTrack, DataX, CLVerify or FactorTrust, to credit agencies like Equifax, Transunion or similar. Each lender has their own method, to manage the risk of loaning money. When you apply through Friendly Lender and the lenders we work with, your odds of getting a loan can improve, because your application can be seen by multiple lenders.

This is why we offer loans through our direct lending partners that come with this less intensive credit check, and an option for those with bad credit.

How a No Credit Check Loan Works?

The truth is, there is no such thing as a “no credit check loan.” Every lender does some kind of credit check. As explained above, instead a “soft” credit check is an option where your credit report is not run and other factors are taken into account that might allow you to qualify for a payday loan or other type of personal loan. After checking these non-traditional metrics, our lenders are generally able to decide on your loan much more quickly than a traditional bank. Because our process is entirely online, you can fill out the form any time, anywhere at your convenience, even on your lunch break while at work. Don’t worry about filling out the form if you have bad credit and think you might be declined. It’s possible you may still qualify for a loan in spite of a bad credit history with a non-traditional check

With fast approval loans, this means that these are types of short term loans that can be a tool for you when you are looking for an emergency loan. Some situations in which people might seek out loans like these include needing to pay the rent on time, getting last minute items for school for your kids, paying a bill on time in order to avoid painful late payment fees, or unexpected expenses.

At Friendly Lender, there is no faxing of anything to us required in order to complete the form, though some of our lending partners may still require some information be faxed, many do not. Instead, the process takes place entirely online and this increases the speed with which you can get a decision on your request for a bad credit loan. And thanks to the non-traditional credit check, it doesn’t take as long for an approval.

The direct lenders we work with are capable of assisting you in finding the right loan to meet your needs so instead of dropping you into a one-size-fits-all loan situation, your loan is tailored to meet your needs.

How Your Credit Can Hurt You?

Bad credit can haunt you for many years once it is established. It doesn’t take a lot to end up with a bad credit score either, just a few mistakes and some bad luck is all it takes to ruin the credit of a responsible individual. Bad credit is also a cycle that is hard to break out of and it gets even harder because people with bad credit tend to take out loans that are not optimal for their situation, or that are too difficult for them to pay because they need money to stay ahead of their debts.

If you're looking for a hassle-free loan despite having not so 'acceptable' credit score, Friendly Lender is your best bet. I had a wonderful experience with them - they took time to explain everything with patience. They also funded me the same day, and were happy to work after hours to get things done. Highly recommend!
