Do Lenders Need Bank Statements for a Cash Loan?
Loans from $500 to $10,000¹
Important information
Short term loans can be expensive and may not be suitable for everyone. Borrow only what you need and can afford to repay.
Loans are subject to credit assessment, eligibility criteria and approval.
Can you get a cash loan without bank statements?
Not from Fundo. We need to see your banking history before we can approve an application.
When you apply, you'll be asked to provide access to your bank statements or recent transaction history. We use that, along with the details you give us, to assess your income from all sources, your regular expenses, any existing financial commitments, and your overall ability to meet repayments.
What Fundo asks for, and why
We need to look at your bank transaction history so we have a good understanding of your financial situation. You connect your securely connect your account which takes only a few minutes. This allows us to get a better picture of your actual income, liabilities and expenses. It doesn't give us the ability to move money or make changes.
Why people search for loans without bank statements
Usually one of three reasons: the account is new, income is irregular, or pay days arent aligned with your repayments. None of those are automatic declines. Irregular income is common and we assess the pattern rather than a single month. If your history is short, we will work with you to get the right outcome.
What we can and cannot do
Fundo lends $500 to $10,000. We cannot lend without asking you about your financial position and verifying it, and we cannot guarantee an approval. But what we can do is give you an answer quickly once we have what we need.
