Quick Application

In most of LendNation's states, consumers can apply online or in a local store. The loan application process doesn't rely on your credit score, as this lender doesn't do a traditional credit check. There is no hard pull to show up on your credit report. Loan decisions are based on the personal information you provide about your income and employment.

LendNation has several basic application requirements for people that want to borrow money:

• An active checking account
• Valid telephone number
• Valid email address
• Verifiable source of income

Once you fill an online application with this lending company, your pre-approval offer is immediately accepted or declined. You don't have to wait to receive any word. From there, you will have to talk to someone from LendNation's customer service department for actual loan approval. You will be contacted by phone from one of LendNation's employees to talk about loan options if you are pre-approved.

If you apply for your loan online, funds typically can be received via direct deposit within one business day or you can pick up cash at a local location, if available.
In-store applicants may need to provide photo ID, like a driver's license, and references are needed in some states.

No Prepayment Penalty

Consumers can pay off their short-term loans with LendNation early. There is no early repayment fee in this company's loan agreement.

Availability

This lender only offers its services in 13 states. If you live outside of its coverage area, you will have to look to additional lenders in your state to handle your unexpected expenses.

Expensive Credit

As with all payday loans and personal installment loans catered to people with little, no, or bad credit history, LendNationals products and services are an expensive form of credit. If you have access to a Payday Alternative Loan from your local credit union, or you are able to get a less expensive loan, that is always recommended.

Fees

Even if you took out a small loan with this type of lender, you need to be aware that there are likely going to be late payment fees and NSF insufficient funds fees if they try to debit money from your checking account, but the request is returned due to insufficient funds. These vary from state to state, but for example, the NSF fee is $30 and if your payment is ten or more days late, the fee is 5 percemt of the payment due, up to $7.50.

In some states, LendNation offers a pay-in-full option, or a 5 percent principal paydown plus interest to spread it into three payments.

Need More Information

At this time, we need a little more information about LendNation's critical policies and fees that are charged to customers. It is pretty hard to track down a maximum APR range, because some of the company's state-specific pages are lacking rate information.
