Marketplace Disclosure: PrimeLendings is a 100% online loan marketplace, not a direct lender. We do not originate, fund, or service loans. We instantly match borrowers with licensed lenders across the US and Canada who make all independent credit and funding decisions. Loan approval, rates (5.99%–35.99% APR), and terms are determined solely by the matched lender. Submitting a request does not guarantee loan approval. Loan terms, APR, fees, and availability are set by individual lenders and vary by state. A lender may perform a hard credit inquiry before final approval, which may affect your credit score. Representative example: $500 borrowed for 14 days at a flat fee of $15 per $100 = total repayment $575 (APR 391%). Always review lender terms before signing.
