FAQ
Good to know.
The short version of how Lending Docks works.
What's a personal loan, exactly?
A sum you borrow from a lender and pay back in installments. Requests can be for anything from $100 to $35,000, with repayment periods as long as 72 months. The lender decides what fits your situation.
Am I eligible to send a request?
You'll generally need to:
- be at least 18
- be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident
- have a steady income, from a job or another source
- hold a bank account (direct deposit is a plus)
Do you charge anything?
Not a cent: our service is free. Lenders charge interest and possibly fees, and they must lay out the full terms before you agree to anything.
How do APR and loan terms work?
APR, the annual percentage rate, shows the yearly cost of credit. It may range from 5.99% to 35.99%, with terms from 91 days up to 72 months. The exact figures depend on your circumstances.
Who do I repay, and when?
You repay the lender, on the schedule in your loan agreement. For questions about payments, dates or methods, contact the lender directly.
How is my information handled?
Your details are encrypted with 256‑bit SSL on their way to us. When you submit, they may be shared with lenders, networks and service providers, as explained in our Privacy Policy and Marketing Disclosure.
