  • Post-bankruptcy lending available through specialized network lenders
  • Same-day deposit timing applies regardless of credit profile

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 who make all independent credit and funding decisions. Loan approval, rates (5.99%–35.99% APR for personal loans), and terms are determined solely by the matched lender. Submitting a request does not guarantee loan approval. Short-term representative example: $500 borrowed for 14 days at $15/$100 = $575 total (391% APR). Short-term products are high-cost — use for genuine emergencies only. Loan terms, APR, fees, and availability vary by lender and state. A lender may perform a hard credit inquiry before final approval. Terms apply. Full rate & fee schedule.
