Frequently asked questions

Is the micro loan application free?

Yes. Speedy Money never charges you to apply or to get matched with a lender. We’re a free referral service.

Will applying hurt my credit score?

No. Getting matched and verifying income with IBV doesn’t run a hard credit check. Your matched lender may run its own checks before final approval.

How quickly will I be funded?

Small loans fund fast. Many borrowers receive an Interac e‑Transfer the same day they apply, once income is verified and the agreement is signed.

What if I have bad credit?

All credit is considered. Approval is based mainly on your employment income through IBV, so a low score doesn’t automatically rule you out.
