My loan was unsuccessful as my employer pays me by cash not into my acct is there another way I can apply with proof of income?
May Finder

Hi Jacqueline,
Thanks for your question and I’m sorry to hear about the rejection of your application.
Generally, lenders would require you to provide proof of your income source to assess your financial position and your ability to repay the loan. Usually, for applicants who are paid in cash, banks or lenders would consider them as having unstable employment.
For a chance to be accepted, you may have to provide evidence of all your income plus endorsements from your employer. Depending on the state you live in and the tax regulations, you may or may not be required to pay tax. So having that income record in your tax, it will also mean that you can have the documentation to show to the lender. You may refer to the list of payday loans for cash payments to see your possible options.
Also, before submitting an application for credit, make sure to review the eligibility criteria and requirements so that you would know if you qualify for the loan or not.
Cheers,
May

Hi Britt-Inger,
Unfortunately Nimble only provides loans to current residents of Australia. You’ll need to contact a lender in Sweden if you’re in need of a loan.
Sorry I couldn’t be of more assistance,

Hi, I am looking for a loan of 4000$. I have bad credit. But now I have a full-time job and I also work part-time as well. I wanted to know if I am eligible. I m pretty sure my bad credit file might hold me back. I recently cleared a loan amount of 1700 with another financial organisation. Would that help my application? I am in urgency for funds.
