Hi,
Thank you for reaching out to Finder.
Generally, it would be difficult to get approved for a loan if you have a poor credit score. In most cases, lenders require good to excellent credit. There are quite a few that will accept applications from people with bad credit however this can cost higher interest rates and poorer terms. If you are amenable to this, see our list of bad credit loans. You can apply for up to a $5,000 loan with bad credit history. Please use our table to help you find the lender that suits you. When you are ready, press the ‘Go to site’ button of your preferred lender to apply.
Please ensure that you meet all the eligibility criteria and read through the details of the needed requirements as well as the relevant Product Disclosure Statements/Terms and Conditions when comparing your options before making a decision on whether it is right for you. You can also contact the provider if you have specific questions.
Cheers,
Reggie
