Our verdict

LendYou US suits US adults with a fair credit rating who need a small bridge loan and a fast payout, and it charges no origination fee. The cost is the rate: the 200% to 1,386% APR range tops out steeply, and a 30 term leaves little room to spread the cost.

Who it suits

  • US adults with a checking or savings account that takes a direct deposit and steady monthly income
  • Borrowers who need money quickly and can clear a fair credit rating
  • Anyone consolidating small balances into one loan

Who should look elsewhere

  • Cashspace readers in the Philippines, where the PHP 12 to PHP 36 APR range is far lower
  • Creduma ES readers needing a larger loan, since it starts at from €12,000
  • Sofkredit readers who prefer a gentler 10.74% to 18.06% band and a longer personal loan term

Where it sits among rivals

On loan amount, LendYou US ranks 544 of 665 brands, which is well down the field and reflects a small ceiling rather than a broad range. On term it sits at 135 of 226, a better showing, though that comes from short, single-period repayment rather than choice over how long to borrow.

Frequently asked questions

What does a LendYou US loan cost?+

The headline rate is a 200% to 1,386% APR range, and that band is the number to weigh. Setting the loan up costs nothing extra, because the origination fee is 0 USD. What you pay overall depends on the lender you are matched with, as the service works as a marketplace.

How much can I borrow?+

Borrowing runs on a $100 to $1,000 range, and payday, personal and debt consolidation are all offered. That sizing suits a short bill, a car repair or an emergency rather than a major expense, so anyone planning a large purchase would be stretched.

How quickly does the money arrive?+

Once a lender approves, Funds as early as the next business day, and the 0 USD origination fee means setup adds no cost. Both points matter when a bill falls due in the next few days, which is the situation most borrowers here are in.

Will a credit check be run?+

A hard credit check sits behind the application, so your file will be looked at. Applicants need a fair credit rating for personal loans, and a hard search can weigh on later borrowing too, so it pays to check before applying.

Who can borrow through LendYou US?+

Adults living in the US qualify with a checking or savings account that receives a direct deposit, regular monthly income and a fair credit rating for personal loans. Active duty service members and their dependents are not eligible. It is a marketplace based in the United States, so the contract is with the matched lender.

What kinds of loan are on offer?+

There are payday, personal and debt consolidation to choose from, covering a payday advance, a personal loan and a debt consolidation loan. Each fits inside a 30 term, so the money works as a bridge across an awkward month rather than a long term restructure.

How do I get help once I have applied?+

Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so a phone call or an email is the normal route, with a help centre for the questions people ask most. Worth knowing before you need it, since a hard credit check puts weight on a single application.
