Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change details after starting the application?

Yes—most fields can be edited before submission. However, the loan type selected on the first screen cannot be changed. If you selected the wrong type (e.g., secured vs. unsecured), contact your lender to start a new application.

How do I apply for an unsecured loan?

Be sure to select UNSECURED on the first screen of the application. This removes the collateral section. If you skipped this step, contact your lender to start a new application.

What if my organization doesn’t have owners (e.g., nonprofit or municipality)?

Select NON-PROFIT / MUNICIPAL on the first screen. This removes the Beneficial Owners and Guarantor sections. If selected incorrectly, contact your lender to restart the application.

Why am I getting a warning when submitting the application?

You may see a warning if any required fields or documents are missing, or if you haven’t accepted the terms and conditions or authorized a credit pull. Review the message, fix the issue, and try again.

What happens after I submit my application?

Your lender will review your application and documents within 24–48 business hours and follow up to discuss next steps.
