When you apply

At Lending Stream, we know our customers are more than just a number. That's why we go beyond a credit check when considering short-term loan applications. We were founded by some of the same people who developed the fraud detection system protecting transactions on more than 2.5 billion credit cards worldwide. So – we know our stuff when it comes to data science. We use the power of our advanced analytics when making all approval decisions, to ensure we lend responsibly.

Responsible Lending: Please think carefully about whether Lending Stream is the right solution for you. Short-term loans are an expensive form of borrowing. They could make your finances more difficult in the long-term. This is even more important if you're in financial difficulty. If we don't think you can afford a loan, we won't give you one. We'll look at your current finances and credit history before we make any lending decisions.
