Borrowing money comes with questions, and you deserve straight answers before you share a single detail. Here is what people ask us most about how 5K Advance works.
01
Is 5K Advance a lender, or who am I actually borrowing from?−
No. We are a lender-matching service, not a lender. We match your request with lenders in our network. The lender makes the offer, sets the terms, and funds the loan.
02
Will checking my options affect my credit score in any way?+
Checking your options through our form does not affect your credit score. A lender may run a full credit check later, before making a final offer.
03
How fast can the money actually land in my account?+
Some lenders fund as soon as the next business day after you accept an offer. Funding times depend on the lender, your bank, and approval, so timing varies.
04
Are there any fees or costs for using 5K Advance?+
Using 5K Advance is free. Lenders pay us, not you. Any loan costs are set by the lender and shown to you before you accept an offer.
05
How much money can I request through the form?+
You can request between $100 and $5,000. The amount actually offered depends on the lender and your financial profile.
06
What do I need to qualify and submit a request?+
You need to be a U.S. resident aged 18 or older, with a steady income source and an active checking account. Lenders set their own additional requirements.
