Most customers qualify with at least one lender
We carry four lenders — Acima, Snap, Koalafi, and American First — specifically because each one has different approval criteria. Customers declined by one are commonly approved by another. None of them require a traditional credit score, and the soft pull doesn't ding your credit. If all four decline, we'll tell you up front and help you build a plan that works.
