Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about getting matched with a loan through Good Fast Loans.

About the service

What is Good Fast Loans?

Good Fast Loans is a free online loan-matching service. We connect U.S. borrowers with a network of lenders and lending partners offering personal, installment and emergency loans. We are not a lender and never make credit decisions ourselves.

Is Good Fast Loans a lender?

No. We are strictly a matching service. We do not fund loans, set rates or make approval decisions — the lenders in our network do.

Is it really free?

Yes. Using Good Fast Loans is completely free for borrowers. We’re compensated by lenders and partners when you’re matched or funded.

Credit & eligibility

Will this affect my credit score?

No. Getting matched and comparing offers uses a soft credit inquiry that doesn’t affect your score. A hard inquiry only happens if you choose to proceed with a specific lender.

Can I get matched with bad credit?

Yes. Our network includes lenders that work with fair and poor credit and consider more than just your score. There are no guaranteed approvals.

What do I need to qualify?

Most lenders require you to be 18+, a U.S. citizen or resident, with steady income and an active checking account. See our eligibility page for full detail.

Loans & funding

How much can I borrow?

Loan amounts in our network range from $100 up to $50,000, depending on the lender, your credit and your state.

How fast can I get funded?

After you accept an offer and the lender approves you, funds can arrive as soon as the same or next business day, depending on the lender and your bank.

Am I obligated to take an offer?

Never. You can compare your matches and decline them all with no cost or obligation.
