Why Borrowing Online is So Convenient

Looking for fast cash? Perhaps you need money to consolidate your debt, pay off your car, or pay off an emergency expense. Maybe it is time to consider an online loan. Why? An online loan can potentially offer you several surprising advantages. If you have never taken out a personal loan before, you may not be aware of its potential advantages. Here is a look at some of the top reasons why you would want to consider borrowing online.

Online borrowing is an easy process

Reason to Consider Borrowing Online

  1. Fast loan approvals and disbursements

    Online loan companies are generally more streamlined than traditional lending institutions. Because of this, you may typically get faster loan approvals and the disbursement of your money. So how fast can you be approved? In some cases, you could be approved the same day, and you could receive the money the next day. If you are in a cash crunch, an online loan may be one of the fastest ways for you to get the money you need. When your loan is funded, it’s generally done via an electronic deposit into your bank account.

  2. Easier to complete the loan process

    No one enjoys the process of applying for a loan. If you don’t like the idea of getting dressed up to go to a bank and applying for a loan, then applying online could make much more sense. There is no waiting in the lobby to see the loan officer, no sitting around as the loan officer processes the paperwork, and no uncomfortable moments in the loan officer’s office.

    Also, if you have a busy schedule, applying for a loan online simply makes more sense. You can apply for your loan at home or at your office, or wherever is comfortable for you. Usually, the loan application itself takes a few minutes.

  1. Targeted loans

    Many online lending companies specialize in specific types of loans. For instance, you may have online lending companies specializing in home mortgages while others specialize in personal loans. Dealing with an online lending company specializing in one type of loan may potentially make things easier for you.

  1. Less Cross-Selling

    Just about every type of bank or brick and mortar lending institution may try to cross-sell you on other loans. That’s the last thing you want to deal with. You came into the bank to get an auto loan, do you really want to be asked to apply for a credit card, too? When you apply for a loan online, you are usually in control. You can decide to leave the online lending site at any time. However, it’s a little hard to walk out of a bank once you are in the loan officer’s office with all your paperwork on the table.

Frequently Asked Questions About Online Loans

If you are interested in applying for an online loan, then you may have questions. Here’s a look at some of the most commonly asked questions about applying for a loan online.

How fast can I get a loan online?
There are some cases where you may get your money the next day after approval. Online lending companies tend to have a process in place to process loans quickly. Once your loan is approved, your money is transferred to your bank account.

Can I get an online loan with bad credit?
Some online lending companies may offer loans to borrowers with a credit score below 670. Know that the interest rate you pay correlates to your credit score. The lower your credit score, the higher APR you can expect to pay. 

How safe are online loans?
When you use a reputable online lending company, safeguards will be in place to protect your personal data and online activity. To ensure that you are dealing with a legitimate online lender, look for the following information:

    • Check if and where the lender is licensed to do business in your jurisdiction.
    • Make sure that the lender’s website is secure before inputting your personal information. To check if it’s secure, the URL should begin with: https://. The “S” in “https” signifies the site is “secure”. The lender should also post how they protect your data, including a privacy notice; this details how your data is used and by whom.

What documents are needed for an online personal loan?
Many online lenders may want to verify the following information when it comes to applying for an online loan:

    • Proof of steady income - You will need to verify that you have a steady income.
    • Proof of age - You must be 18 years or older to qualify for an online loan.
    • Open a bank account – You must have an open bank account that is in good standing.
    • Phone – you must be reachable by phone.

What is a personal loan used for?
Personal loans can be used for just about anything, from paying off your credit cards to buying a vehicle or capitalizing on your business. Typically, personal loans will come with a higher interest rate versus other loans.

Taking advantage of online loans

You don’t have to spend the afternoon at the bank to get your next loan. Online loans could be a faster and smarter way for you to get the money that you need. Be sure to check the background of any online lender before you apply.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR APPLYING FOR A LOAN – To help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, and to comply with Tribal law and the spirit of federal law requiring all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who applies for a loan, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask for your driver’s license number or other identifying documents.

* Loan approval, and amounts are based on minimum income amounts, other credit criteria, and verification of the information you provide during the application process. Big Picture Loans, LLC (“Big Picture Loans®”) will run credit checks on all applicants and may review credit information from specialized credit bureaus. Big Picture Loans reviews and approves all loans on Tribal land at its office located at E23970 Pow Wow Trail, Watersmeet, MI 49969. If your application is verified and approved by 5:00 p.m. CST, you will generally receive an ACH deposit on the next Business Day. Business Day means Monday through Friday excluding all federal banking holidays. The loan documents and authorizations, including the loan agreement, depend on time-sensitive factors. Despite our best efforts, unavoidable delays in the review process can happen. If we are unable to verify your information within two Business Days after you submit your application, the loan documents and authorizations may need to be modified to accurately reflect certain payment disclosures, and you may be required to carefully review and submit new documents reflecting these changes.

** Returned payments, late payments, and non-payments may result in additional fees, charges, or collection activities pursuant to the terms of your loan agreement and as allowable under Tribal and applicable federal law.
