Credible takeaways
- NetCredit offers personal loans up to $10,000 that are available in one business day. If applying before 7 a.m. on a business day, you may receive funds the same day.
- The APRs on NetCredit loans are higher than average. However, they don't have a minimum required credit score so they may be a good option if you have bad credit.
- While available in most states, NetCredit is not available in all states.
Best for: Bad credit, fast funding
NetCredit offers personal loans of up to $10,000 — you may receive funding the same day if you submit your application before 7 a.m. on a business day. If you apply after 7 a.m., you will typically receive your money the following business day.
While NetCredit offers flexible loan terms and doesn’t penalize early payoffs, annual percentage rates (APRs) on its personal loans are much higher than the average interest rate on personal loans. The highest APR for a personal loan with NetCredit is 155%, which is more than 13 times the national average for personal loans from commercial banks. For some borrowers with low credit scores who don’t qualify for more competitive rates, a NetCredit personal loan may be a good choice.
NetCredit pros and cons
NetCredit offers quick funding for borrowers, and its repayment terms vary from 6 months to 60 months, offering a good deal of flexibility. NetCredit also boasts an approach to loan qualification that looks at more than your credit score, so some applicants who have had difficulty qualifying elsewhere may be able to qualify with NetCredit.
On the other hand, NetCredit’s personal loans come with very high interest rates. Its lowest APR offered is 34%, almost three times the average interest rate for a personal loan from a commercial bank. It also doesn’t offer discounts and doesn’t accept cosigners.
NetCredit doesn’t offer personal loans in 13 states — check its rates and terms page to see whether it offers loans in your state.

What to consider before applying for a NetCredit personal loan
If you're thinking of applying for a NetCredit personal loan, there are some things you should evaluate first.
- Does this loan fit in your budget? While there are plenty of things to keep in mind when deciding whether or not to take out a personal loan, maybe the most important is how confident you are that you can repay it in full and on time. Review your income and expenses carefully and make a budget to see if the monthly payment is affordable for you.
- Is the cost of borrowing competitive? Borrowing money is almost never free, and NetCredit personal loans come with high interest rates and may also include origination fees. Apply to multiple lenders and see what interest rates you qualify for. Do the math to see how much you’re paying in interest and fees over the life of a loan to see how much borrowing money will really cost you. It may be worth taking some time to boost your credit score before reapplying, as a higher credit score can help you qualify for lower interest rates.
- Do you need this loan? People use personal loans for a variety of reasons, but if you can find another way to get the money you need for less, that may be better. Alternatives like 0% APR credit cards, secured loans, or loans from family and friends can help you meet urgent financial needs without the high cost of borrowing. If the need isn’t urgent, it may be worth it to avoid taking out a personal loan at present and either saving up for the expense or finding another way to fund it.

How to get a personal loan with NetCredit
Here’s what you can expect from the process:
- Check eligibility on the website: NetCredit offers an easy online way to check your eligibility without hurting your credit score. Remember that prequalification is not an offer of credit, however, and final rates may be higher.
- Complete application: If you’re eligible, you’ll need to provide some or all of the following information:
- Your Social Security number
- An address — it has to match the address on your ID
- Proof of income, such as pay stubs
- Applicants will be prompted to connect with their bank account in the application portal and will be asked to provide bank statements if they can’t do so
- If you receive federal benefits, you may need to provide your benefit letters.
- At this point, the lender will conduct a hard credit check, which may temporarily lower your credit score by a few points.
- Sign loan: If you're approved for the loan, carefully review the terms then sign and complete the paperwork. According to NetCredit, you’re likely to get your money in one business day.
- Begin making payments: Automate your loan payments or set up reminders to ensure you don’t forget.
