Can I get a Rent Loan if I have a bad credit score?
Yes, it is possible. Your credit history is exactly that—history. We believe in responsible lending and consider every rent loan application on its individual merit. That means focusing more on your ability to repay the loan now, rather than at some time in the past.
Can I apply for a Rent Loan with Swoosh if I have an existing loan with another company?
Yes, if you have other loans you can still apply for a loan with Swoosh. As responsible lenders, Swoosh will only approve your application if we believe you can afford to repay your loan.
