No Job Required
Your Social Security monthly benefit is your income source. No employer verification, no pay stubs — just your SSA award letter or recent bank statement showing deposits.
Bad Credit Accepted
Many Social Security recipients have limited or damaged credit histories. PrimeLendings lenders evaluate income first — bad credit and no credit are considered.
Soft Pull — No Score Impact

Fixed Repayment — No Surprises
