Can You Get a Personal Loan With No Credit?

We all know that life is unpredictable, and as much as we may not like it, so many things can happen that are totally out of our control. Whether the refrigerator goes out and needs to be replaced, the car needs a new transmission, or an unexpected medical bill pops up. On top of the stress of dealing with the unpredictable, there’s also the financial stress that comes along. Maybe you’ve considered a loan for help, but what if you have no credit?

In a perfect world, everyone would have an emergency fund to help cover unexpected expenses. Of course, in the real world, sometimes that’s not an option. But an Academy Bank Express loan could be the right choice for you -- even if you have little to no credit.

Keep reading to learn more about our Express Loans and how they can help you get the funds you need, when you need them.

How to Get a Loan With Little or No Credit

The Academy Bank Express Loan* is a type of loan in which you borrow a certain amount of money, and then pay it back in installments along with interest. You don’t have to borrow against any collateral, such as your home or car.

While many loans are based on creditworthiness, that’s not the case with our Academy Bank Express Loan. No matter whether you have less-than-perfect credit history, or even no credit at all, the Academy Bank could be an option for you.

You can borrow anywhere from $250 up to $15,000 with a short and simple loan application. We’ll put you in the driver’s seat to pick the offer that works best for you and your situation. Our Express Loan is a fixed-term, fixed-payment loan that you can use for any purpose.

After you’ve established an account relationship with us, we invite you to apply for the Express Loan. That way, we can consider your account relationship in lieu of your credit history. Even if you have a less-than-perfect credit score, or no credit.
