DISCLAIMER
*Information on this site has been gathered from funding partner websites and publicly available sources. While we do our best to ensure this information is up to date and calculations are accurate, all information is presented without warranty. If you find information or calculations you believe to be in error, please contact us. Advertised rates and terms are subject to change without notice.

¹ Rates as of 6/14/2026. Advertised rates and terms are subject to change without notice. Estimated interest rates, APRs, and other terms are not binding in any way. For illustrative purposes only, if you request $10,000, you could get a total loan of $10,000 with an 8.94% interest rate and $0 fees (note, if the lending partner charges an origination fee, it will increase the APR). You would receive $10,000 with 84 payments of $161. Your actual interest rate and APR will depend on factors like credit score, requested funding amount, and credit history. Only borrowers with excellent credit will qualify for the lowest rate. Offers represent lowest monthly payment for amount and term displayed. When evaluating offers, please review the funding partner’s terms and conditions for additional details. All loans and other financial products are subject to credit review and approval by our partners.

² If approved, funding times may vary. We work with some lenders that do not have a requirement for a credit check and use income and/or employment to make decisions on eligibility for their financial products. Underwriting criteria is established by our partners, not Acorn Finance. Most of our lenders will do a soft pull, which does not impact your credit score; however, our funding partners will conduct a hard credit pull when you express interest in an offer, and this could impact your credit score.

³ By proceeding, a soft credit check will be performed. A hard credit check may occur if you choose to move forward, depending on the type of product selected. Offers may include income-based loans, loans for bad credit, personal loans, and other financial products from our network of partners.
