Reviews

Rebecca J., Columbus, OH5: “When my refrigerator died the same week as my car needed repairs, I was completely overwhelmed. Traditional lenders wouldn’t even return my calls because of a bankruptcy two years ago. Yup Loans matched me with a lender within hours, and their respectful approach made all the difference. Funding arrived the next day, and I was able to keep food for my family and maintain my work schedule.”

Michael T., San Diego, CA5: “Working freelance means my cash income fluctuates, which most banks don’t understand. When a major client payment was delayed and rent was due, Yup Loans connected me with options I didn’t know existed. The transparent process showed me exactly what I’d pay and when. No pressure, no judgment – just the financial bridge I needed until my invoice was paid.”
Short Term Loans for Bad Credit FAQs
Can I get a short-term loan with bad credit?
You can get a short-term installment loan even with a low credit score³. Unlike traditional lenders, the lenders in our network consider factors beyond just your credit score when reviewing your application. Many people with bankruptcy records and bad or no credit history successfully qualify for loans through our service. Our panel of lenders understands that your credit score doesn’t tell your whole financial story and offers options when others may turn you away.
How do short term loans differ from payday loans?
Short term and payday loans are both quick funding options*, but they typically have different repayment structures. While payday loans usually require full repayment when you receive your next paycheck, short term loans may offer the option to repay over multiple payments⁴. This can make your repayment more manageable by breaking it into smaller amounts.
Can I get same-day short term loans?
While most loans are funded by the next business day after approval*, same-day funding is sometimes possible. If you complete your application early in the day and promptly provide any required verification documents, you might receive funds before the end of the same business day*. The timing depends on approval speed and your bank’s processing times for incoming transfers.
What’s the difference between short term loans and personal loans?
Short term cash loans typically have repayment periods of a few weeks to months, while personal loans usually extend from 1-5 years. Short term loans are designed for smaller amounts and immediate needs, whereas personal loans generally offer larger sums for planned expenses or larger financial needs.
