Questions people ask before they start

Does CardinalCover lend the money itself?

No. CardinalCover is not a lender and does not make credit decisions. Your request goes to participating lenders; whoever responds decides and sets the terms.

What loan amounts can I request?

$100 to $5,000 is the usual range. The final amount, if any, is up to the lender and your state's rules.

Will this show up on my credit report?

Sending the request does not change your score. A lender may run its own credit check as part of considering your request, which can involve the major bureaus.

When would funds reach my account?

Many lenders deposit as soon as the next business day after approval and acceptance, but the timing is set by the lender and your bank.

What do I need to send a request?

Have your income details, checking account and contact information ready. You need to be at least 18 and live in a state where the service is available.

What does it cost to use CardinalCover?

CardinalCover costs you nothing. If a lender makes you an offer, review its rates and fees carefully before you accept.
