What are immediate cash loans?

An immediate cash loan offers an instant decision on your application and then if you are approved, the money is transferred directly to your bank account quickly. For those dealing with an emergency expense, instant loans are a great option. Lenders can indicate whether or not you’ll be approved for a loan by carrying out a soft search of your credit report, which doesn’t impact your credit score. If you’re likely to be approved and decide to go ahead and apply, they will carry out a hard search of your credit report and once approved, you’ll receive the money on the same day#.

When should I consider applying for an instant loan?

There are a wide range of situations whereby you might be feeling that your funds are a little too thin to cover you. Unexpected expenses such as boiler repairs, broken plumbing and leaky roofs are not usually things you factor in to your budget and can be expensive to fix, causing high levels of financial burden. Other expensive surprises such as vehicle breakdowns and problems with your white goods are common reasons for taking out an instant loan, to shoulder the burden quickly and get back on track.

Why do you do a credit check?

Credit checks are a legal requirement, which means that for every application we receive, lenders carry out extensive credit checks to make sure the applicant can afford their repayments. Instant loans online with no credit check do not exist, and here at Sunny, we believe that’s for the best. It’s of the utmost importance to us that our customers can afford their repayments, as causing extra stress is not our aim. We like to think of ourselves as a lifeline to those experiencing an emergency cash situation, offering a helping hand on a short-term basis. We understand how upsetting financial problems can be, but being able to afford your payments is more important and avoids more upset in the long term.

What does my credit score affect?

Your credit score will be taken into account when a lender assesses your application for an instant loan. If you have a bad or non-existent credit score, this may affect your ability to get the best rate on an instant loan. In this scenario, you may still be able to secure a loan, but at a higher rate of interest and perhaps not for as much as you originally applied for.

Can I get an instant loan with bad credit?

It is possible to get an instant loan with bad credit but bear in mind the interest rate may be higher. Look into our guide on bad credit loans for more information on how this works, and how you can take simple steps to improve your credit rating.
