How it works

  2. Compare lendersSee which lenders fit, with each one's APR range and an estimated monthly payment.
  3. Go to the lenderTap an offer to open the lender's own site. You apply there, not with us.

Nothing personal goes into the app

Loan Compare has no account and no sign-up, and it never asks for your name, Social Security number or bank details. The amount, term and credit range you pick stay on your phone. Read the privacy policy for the detail.

How we make money

Loan Compare is free. Some lenders pay us a referral fee when you view or take up an offer through our links. That costs you nothing, but it can affect which lenders appear, and we do not list every lender. More in our advertiser disclosure.
