Why Soft-Pull Pre-Qualification Is a Major Trust and Conversion Factor
The top personal loan brands — SoFi, LightStream, Marcus by Goldman Sachs — all emphasize soft-pull pre-qualification because consumers fear hard inquiries. This fear is the single biggest barrier to loan applications. PrimeLendings eliminates this friction entirely. Here is how our pre-qualification compares to industry leaders:
| Lender | Soft Pull Pre-Qual | Bad Credit Accepted | Min Credit Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| PrimeLendings | Yes | Yes — 500+ | 500 |
| SoFi | Yes | No — 650+ required | 650 |
| LightStream | Yes | No — 660+ required | 660 |
| Marcus by GS | Yes | Limited | 660+ |
| Upstart | Yes | Yes | 580 |
Information approximate — check lender websites for current requirements.
