Independent Lead Generation & Advertiser Disclosure

PrimeLend Is NOT a Lender, Broker, or Creditor: PrimeLend does not originate, underwrite, fund, issue, or service loans. We do not make credit decisions, issue loan commitments, or determine interest rates, APRs, repayment schedules, or loan fees.
Operational Model: PrimeLend operates exclusively as an independent referral connection network. We connect prospective borrowers with third-party participating lenders, loan vendors, and financial service providers (collectively, "Participating Loan Vendors").
No Guarantee of Offers or Approval: Submitting a connection request does not constitute a loan application and does not guarantee that you will be matched with a vendor, receive a loan offer, or be approved for financing. Participating Loan Vendors maintain independent underwriting criteria.
Free Consumer Service / Partner Compensation: Our matching service is free to consumers. PrimeLend receives financial compensation from Participating Loan Vendors and marketing partners when consumer inquiries are referred. You are never obligated to accept any offer extended by a matched vendor.

Representative APR Example & Loan Terms

Annual Percentage Rates (APRs) from Participating Loan Vendors generally range from 5.99% to 35.99%, based on individual creditworthiness, loan amount, state laws, and repayment terms. Repayment terms generally span from 61 days to 72 months.

Representative Example: A borrower who receives a $4,000 personal loan with a 24-month repayment term at an APR of 24.9% will make 24 monthly installments of $213.56. The total repayment amount will be $5,125.44 (consisting of $4,000.00 principal and $1,125.44 total interest and finance charges).

Credit Authorization & Soft Pull Inquiries

Soft inquiries do not impact your credit score.
Vendor Hard Inquiries: If you proceed with a specific matched loan vendor and submit a formal credit application, that vendor may perform an independent hard credit inquiry, which may temporarily affect your credit score.
