How to qualify for a personal loan
Traditional lenders don’t make it easy to qualify for a personal loan. Between the mountains of paperwork and stringent criteria, their lending models often fail to capture the full picture. That’s where Jacaranda is different; we pride ourselves on being inclusive. As long as your current financial situation is looking good, we will happily consider your loan application. That includes good credit, bad credit, or no credit at all.
We’ve built back-end systems that speed up and verify the boring part so we can focus on what matters – getting approved loans paid out fast. Most of our approved clients get unconditionally approved within 60-minutes2 of submitting the completed loan application. So, even if you’re not sure whether we could help you, it costs you nothing to find out!
