LendYou.com is not a lender and does not make credit decisions. LendYou is a loan connecting service. We connect consumers who are looking for financial assistance with independent, third party lenders who may be able to provide a loan.
You begin by filling out the simple form. Your information is then shared with third party lenders who may make you a loan offer. You are under no obligation to accept the offer, but if you do, the lender will provide the instructions to do so. Every third party lender has their own terms and conditions. Please consult these before accepting the loan offer. In particular, check for information on the APR, fees, renewal terms and consequences of non-payment.
If you have any questions about your loan, please contact your lender.
Registering with LendYou.com is free to you, the consumer. We are paid by independent, third party lenders for potential customer referrals.
Each third party lender will have its own fees, APR and terms. These charges come directly from the lender and not from LendYou.com.
These fees and charges will be provided to you at the time of the loan offer, if one is made. You are under no obligation to accept them. Your loan is accepted by you when you electronically “sign” the offer and send back to the lender.
Read all documents for the terms and conditions of the loan.
Payday loans are usually between $100 and $1,000. Installment loans range between $100 and $5,000 and Personal loans are usually between $500 and $35,000. You will make a request for a loan amount. If you receive a loan offer, it may not match the amount you requested. Loan offers may vary for several reasons including the individual lender, employment, income and other factors.
The transfer to your bank account could happen as early as the next business day. Times will vary depending upon your lender and your financial institution. If you have additional questions regarding the transfer time, please contact your third party lender.

From the time you register with LendYou.com (and are made an offer by an independent, third party lender) the process can be as fast as one business day. A number of factors impact this, including the time of day you register, the accuracy of your registration, the lender and your financial institution.

Many will do so. They may check to verify the accuracy of the information you have provided and/or to review your information to see how it compares to the records of national databases. Lenders may verify your social security number, driver’s license number, banking information or any other information you provided.
Multiple inquiries to the “Big 3” credit bureaus (Experian, Equifax and Transunion) may result in a lowering of your credit score. Therefore you may want to register for a loan, one at a time.
The answer to this question depends upon the state you live in and the lender. Each lender has its own renewal policies, as well as each state having their own laws regarding automatic renewal of payday loans. Be sure to ask your lender if your loan will automatically renew or if they have to receive your permission first.
Loan renewal will likely result in the addition of fees and interest to your loan balance. Make yourself aware of these fees before agreeing to any loan renewal.
This varies by lender, so check with your lender before agreeing to the loan offer. Many consumers get in trouble by not being aware of the penalties of late or non-payments. Be fully aware of the consequences of not paying the loan in full on the date it is due.
There is no guarantee that you will be approved by one of our participating lenders.
Typical penalties for lack of repayment may include:
- Addition of late fees
- Your account being forwarded to a collection agency
- Report your lack of payment to a consumer credit agency (thereby lowering your credit score)
- An offer to renew your loan, which will result in additional fees and/or interest
