Eligibility Requirements

See if you meet the basic requirements before you apply. Meeting them doesn't guarantee approval, but it's the starting point.

Age & residency

You must be at least 18 years old and a U.S. citizen or permanent resident with a valid Social Security number.

Bank account

An active checking account in your own name is required so funds can be deposited and payments scheduled.

Regular income

A steady source of income — employment, benefits, or other verifiable income — helps demonstrate ability to repay.

Contact details

A valid email address and mobile phone number are needed so we can reach you during verification.

Who is not eligible

  • Active-duty military and dependents. Under the Military Lending Act, these loans are not offered to active servicemembers or their dependents.
  • Residents of states where the product isn't offered. Availability varies; if MaxLend doesn't operate in your state, you won't be able to proceed.

No credit-score minimum

Unlike traditional banks, MaxLend does not set a minimum FICO score. Decisions weigh your income and ability to repay rather than your credit history alone — which is why borrowers with poor or thin credit may still qualify.
