What Are Bad Credit Loans?

Bad credit loans are personal loans designed specifically for borrowers who have less-than-perfect credit scores. If you've been turned down by traditional banks or other lenders because of your credit history, these loans offer an alternative path to getting the funds you need.

At NeptuneLoan, we connect you with lenders who specialize in working with borrowers across all credit situations. Whether your score is low due to past financial difficulties, missed payments, bankruptcy, or simply because you haven't had time to build credit yet — our lender partners are ready to consider your application.

The key difference? Our lenders look beyond the number. They assess your current financial situation, income, employment status, and ability to repay — not just what happened in the past.

Why Was I Denied by Other Lenders?

Traditional banks and many online lenders rely heavily on credit scores to make lending decisions. If your score falls below their threshold — often around 640-670 — your application gets automatically rejected, no matter what your current situation looks like.

Common reasons for having a low credit score include:

  • Late or missed payments on credit cards or loans
  • High credit card balances or maxed-out cards
  • Bankruptcy or foreclosure in your history
  • Collections accounts or charge-offs
  • Limited or no credit history

The good news? These past events don't have to dictate your future. Many of our lender partners understand that life happens, and they're willing to give you a second chance based on where you are today — not where you were years ago.

How Do Bad Credit Loans Work?

Applying for a bad credit loan through NeptuneLoan is simple. Fill out our online form — it takes about 2 minutes — and we'll match you with lenders who are most likely to approve your request. You'll receive a decision in minutes, not days.

Instead of relying solely on your credit score, our lenders evaluate your complete financial picture. They'll look at your current income, employment stability, monthly expenses, and whether you can reasonably afford the loan payments. If the numbers work, there's a good chance you'll get approved.

Once approved, you'll review the loan terms — amount, interest rate, repayment schedule, and total cost. Everything is transparent, so you know exactly what you're agreeing to. Sign the contract, and funds are typically deposited into your bank account within 24 hours.

Can a Bad Credit Loan Help My Credit Score?

Yes! One of the best things about bad credit loans is that they can actually help you rebuild your credit over time. Here's how it works:

1

Get approved for a loan

Even with bad credit, our lenders may approve you based on your current income

2

Make on-time payments

Each payment you make on time gets reported to credit bureaus

3

Watch your score improve

Consistent payments build positive credit history and boost your score

It's a win-win: you get the money you need now, and you improve your financial future at the same time. Just make sure to borrow responsibly and only take out what you can comfortably repay.

Bad Credit Loan Requirements

While credit requirements are relaxed, you'll still need to meet some basic eligibility criteria:

  • Be at least 18 years old
  • Have a valid government-issued ID
  • Have an active U.S. bank account
  • Earn at least $1,000 per month (any income source)
  • Be a U.S. resident with proof of address
