Underwritten with intent.

/ Six things we will not do
/ 01

No payday products

Minimum 3-month term. We never offer single-payment loans or anything that has to be repaid in 60 days or less.

/ 02

No hidden fees

Origination, late, returned-payment — disclosed up front and folded into your APR. The number you see is the number you pay.

/ 03

No prepayment penalty

Pay off early, pay extra any month — there is no fee for paying us back faster. Interest stops the day you do.

/ 04

No 5-day decisions

Most applicants get an answer within four business hours. The longest part is usually finding a recent pay stub.

/ 05

No credit-score hits

Pre-qualification uses a soft credit pull. We only run a hard inquiry once you accept an offer. You stay in control.

/ 06

No phone-tree maze

The number on this site rings in our office during business hours. A real person answers. Voicemail goes to a human.

The numbers, on the table.

No mystery, no asterisk you discover at signing.

Six honest questions.

How fast will I actually hear back?

Most applicants get a same-day decision and many get one within four business hours. If we need additional documentation we’ll tell you exactly what and why; no “please wait” with no estimate.

Will applying hurt my credit score?

No. We run a soft credit pull during the application, which is invisible to other lenders and does not affect your score. A hard inquiry happens only after you accept an offer, when we open the actual loan account.

Why is the APR ceiling 35.99%?

Because that’s our line. Apple Guideline 3.2.2(ix) prohibits loan apps with maximum APR above 36% inclusive of all fees, and frankly we agree with the policy. We won’t make a loan above that ceiling.

Can I pay the loan off early?

Yes, any time, any amount, no penalty. Interest stops accruing on the principal you’ve repaid. We will never charge you a fee for paying us back faster than the schedule says.

What happens if I miss a payment?

Call us before the due date if you can. We have humans who answer and a track record of finding workable adjustments. If a payment is more than 15 days late we may charge a late fee disclosed in your loan agreement, capped by your state’s law.

Where do I file a complaint?

Email us first at support@debt-borrow-to-invest.com — we read every complaint. You may also file with the Illinois Department of Financial & Professional Regulation or the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau at any time.

We started this company because lending in America had decided that small borrowers deserved big punishments. We disagree, and our APR ceiling is the proof.
