Application Questions
How
do I apply for a loan?
The only way to apply for a loan is to initiate an application through our merchant partners’ online or retail stores.
What
do I need to apply for a loan?
The loan process requires minimal information in order to verify your identity and establish a credit amount. You will need to provide either a valid US driver’s license, passport, or state ID; your most recent bank statement; perform an online bank verification and in certain cases your most recent paystub or proof of income. LendFirm® may also require further documentation to verify your information.
If
I have bad credit, can I still apply?
Whether you have poor credit from bankruptcy, no credit history or bad credit LendFirm® will take a holistic approach and evaluate consumers on a number of different criteria in order to make an approval decision. Our belief is that a credit score is only one piece of the puzzle when looking at an individual’s creditworthiness.
Does
LendFirm® perform a credit check?
LendFirm® does perform a hard credit inquiry during the application process. Inquiries may or may not affect your FICO score. For many people, one additional credit inquiry (voluntary and initiated by an application for credit) may not affect their FICO score at all.
How
will I know when I have been approved?
Online applicants will receive an email notification when approved.
Can
I apply for another loan before I have paid off my current loan?
LendFirm® will accept applications from current borrowers. However, your current balance and payment history will have an impact on the approval decision and the amount of credit that can be extended.
Loan Questions
Will
I receive emails and/or text messages from LendFirm®?
LendFirm® uses email and text communications to keep you informed of your approval, payment reminders, loan confirmation, promotions, and more. This makes it very important that you receive all email communication from LendFirm® concerning your account. To ensure you receive important emails from LendFirm®, please add our email address – cs@lendfirm.com – to your address book as a trusted contact.
Why
did LendFirm® charge payment(s) before I received my item?
To make sure that there are funds available in your account, LendFirm® charges your account on the days that you are paid. Payments do begin on the pay-date after you checkout, and it is perfectly normal to make at least one payment before you receive your item. Our vendors handle all orders and shipments and should be contacted for updates.
Does
LendFirm® charge any fees or interest?
As with any lender, we do charge interest to be determined upon approval. We currently offer interest rates starting at 4.95% APR and as high as 18.95% APR. We offer 6, 12, 18 or 24 month term loans that are payable in equal installments. We do not charge any origination fees or early prepayment penalties.
How
do I return and get a refund for my purchase?
A refund must be made directly through our merchant partners. Once a return has been accepted by our merchant partner, LendFirm® will refund any payments made less any return fees charged by the merchant partner. If the return fees exceed the total amount of payments made, then payments will not be refunded and you will still be required to maintain the payment schedule until the remaining balance is paid in full.
What
happens to my payments if the merchant gives me a partial refund?
Any refunds that are applied to your account by our merchant partners will be applied to your account and adjustments will be made. Upon application of the refund, you are still required to maintain the payment schedule until the remaining balance is paid in full.

What
happens if I pay off my loan early?
