The Good

  • Fast Application
  • Soft Credit Check
  • Professional Memberships

Fast Application

Soft Credit Check

Professional Memberships

The Bad

  • High APR
  • Limited Information

High APR

All of CreditNinja’s loans have an APR of higher than 36 percent, which prevents the company from lending to anyone covered by the Military Lending Act.

Limited Information

There are very few details on the CreditNinja website about the loans the company offers. The website is also unclear about APR ranges for its loans, the possible repayment terms, and any fees that may be involved with borrowing from CreditNinja.

The Bottom Line

CreditNinja offers personal loans online, especially for borrowers whose credit is less than stellar. Borrowers fill out an online application within minutes and then receive a personalized offer from CreditNinja. Borrowers can receive their funding as quickly as the next business day once they sign their offer. 

The CreditNinja application doesn’t require a hard credit check, so applying won’t negatively affect borrowers’ credit. 

CreditNinja is also a member of Online Lenders Alliance, which holds its members to high standards for customer service.

Unfortunately, the CreditNinja website doesn’t offer many details about its loans, such as the APR ranges or repayment terms that are available. The CreditNinja website does specify that all of its loans have an APR of higher than 36 percent, which means anyone covered by the Military Lending Act isn’t able to borrow from the company.

Because the CreditNinja application is free, easy, and doesn’t hurt the borrower’s credit score, it couldn’t hurt to see what terms CreditNinja could offer. However, without more information, we cannot recommend CreditNinja at this time.

They keep sending me offers through the mail even thought I opted out of prescreen offers 9 months ago. If a company will not obey the law, is that really a company with whom you want to do business?
