Nationwide Loans

Frequently asked

Questions, answered.

Everything you might want to know before applying — 12 questions, plainly answered.

What credit score do I need to qualify?

We don’t require a minimum credit score — we quote everyone. Our underwriters look at the whole picture: income, debt-to-income ratio, banking history, and employment stability. Borrowers with strong credit qualify near our lowest APR (from 8.99%); borrowers with limited or no credit history are still considered and may qualify at the upper end of the range (up to 35.99% APR). Borrowers turned down by traditional banks often qualify through our underwriting.

Does checking my rate hurt my credit?

No. We don’t pull your credit just to give you a rate quote. A specialist reviews your details first and walks you through your rate — no impact to your score at this stage. A credit check happens only later, once you decide to move forward.

How much can I borrow?

Loans range from $1,000 to $50,000. Most approvals fall between $5,000 and $25,000.

What is your APR range?

APR ranges from 8.99% to 35.99% (fixed) based on your creditworthiness, loan amount, term, and verified income. Borrowers with excellent credit (740+) typically qualify near 8.99%; borrowers with limited or no credit history may qualify toward the upper end of the range. Your specialist reviews and confirms your rate before any credit check happens, so you see your real number before committing.

Are there any fees?

We charge zero origination fees. No application fee. No prepayment penalty. The only thing you pay is principal plus interest.

How fast can I get my funds?

Most approved borrowers receive funds via ACH as soon as the next business day after signing.

What terms are available?

Loan terms range from 24 to 84 months. Choose the term that fits your monthly budget.

Can I pay off my loan early?

Yes, anytime, with no penalty. Many borrowers pay extra each month to finish faster — you only pay interest on the remaining balance.

How do you protect my data?

We use bank-level 256-bit encryption end-to-end. Your personal information is never sold or shared with third parties beyond what is required to process your loan.

Who is Nationwide Loans?

What if I miss a payment?

Call us as soon as you know you might miss a payment. We have a hardship program that can defer or restructure your loan. We work with borrowers going through a rough patch before any late fees or collection action — but we can only help if we hear from you early.
