Rapid Finance on 13 April 2022

However much we try to plan ahead for the future, sometimes we need a loan urgently. But what if you have bad credit? Whether you need a loan to cover emergency medical costs, to purchase a new car or for something else, Rapid Finance could help you find a loan option to suit your unique financial situation.

We’ve all made mistakes in life and, when it comes to poor financial decision-making or just an unfortunate series of events out of your control, we don’t judge people on their financial past. We know that most people don’t fit into the perfect box that will, on paper, satisfy the strict requirements of lenders like banks. We listen to your unique story and try to help you find an urgent loan that’s suitable for your budget.

Whereas some financial institutions call it ‘bad credit’, we call it our speciality. Have you been turned away by banks? Had problems with defaults in the past? Don’t give up. Rapid Finance has been helping customers secure urgent loans for over 20 years, so we generally know exactly how to help you - generally whatever your situation! Rapid Finance should be able to help get your bad credit loan approved.

What does it mean to have bad credit?

Sometimes, people aren’t aware of their credit score until they need it - and often that’s in an emergency situation. Whether you’re looking to make a big purchase like a car or a home, or just need a personal loan to cover unexpected immediate expenses, chances are you’ll need a loan to make it a reality. 

When you apply for a loan, lenders look at your credit history, as one of the tests, to determine whether you’re in a position to pay back the money you’re hoping to borrow. A credit score pools together your financial history from things like your past credit card payments and defaults, the number of loans you’ve had, and even your buy now pay later history. The number can be between 0 and 1200 (depending on the credit reporting body) - generally, the lower the number, the poorer your credit score.
