While no credit check loans are often advertised, all lenders do check applicants' credit and financial history in some way. Those with poor credit can still apply for payday or installment loans from direct lenders, as some consider factors beyond credit scores like employment history. The application process is streamlined and fast, with decisions often within minutes. If approved, funds may be deposited within a couple business days. Loan costs depend on the specific terms, which are disclosed by the direct lender.
