Is Loan For Any Purpose USA Legit?

A fair question. Do not take our word for it: here are four independent checks that take about five minutes each.

It is a fair question, and the right one to ask about any lender you found through a search result. The honest answer is that you should not take our word for it. Below are four independent checks that take about five minutes, and what you should find at the end of each.

Our full licence list, with the regulator for each state, is on the licenses page. Search for the legal entity name rather than the trading name, because that is how licences are recorded.

What we are

  • A direct lender. We underwrite, fund and service our own loans, and do not sell your application on.
  • Licensed in 24 states, with each product offered only where we hold the licence for it.
  • Subject to the Truth in Lending Act, the Military Lending Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, plus each state's lending statutes.
  • A high-cost lender on some products. Payday loans here carry a representative APR of 261% to 652%. We publish that figure rather than hiding it, and we publish cheaper alternatives alongside.

Things that are not us

Impersonation is common in this industry, so it is worth being specific.

If you see thisIt is not us
A request for payment before your loan is fundedWe never ask for money upfront, in any form
A demand for gift cards, a wire or cryptocurrencyWe never take payment this way
A request for your online banking passwordWe never ask for it; our bank connection is read-only
An unsolicited call or text offering approvalWe do not contact people who have not applied
A domain that is not exactly loanforanypurposeusa.comCheck the spelling character by character
"Guaranteed approval, no credit check"We say the opposite on our own product pages

If any of these happens in our name, tell us and report it at reportfraud.ftc.gov. More detail in how to spot a loan scam.

Judging us on substance

Licences prove a lender is real, not that it is good. These are the things worth weighing:

  • Every cost is published on rates and terms before you apply, not after approval.
  • We do not roll over payday loans, and we issue one short-term loan at a time.
  • There is no prepayment penalty on any product.
  • Our complaints process publishes timelines and tells you how to escalate past us.
  • Our guides recommend options that cost less than our own loans.
  • How we make money sets out the revenue model and where our incentives diverge from yours.

Frequently asked questions

Is Loan For Any Purpose USA a real lender?

Yes. We are a direct lender licensed in 24 states, and you can verify that through your state banking regulator's licensee lookup, the applicable state regulator and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's public complaint database rather than taking our word for it.

How do I know a loan website is not a scam?

Check the lender's legal entity name against your state regulator's licensee list, check the domain spelling character by character, and remember that no legitimate lender asks for payment before funding or for your online banking password.

Are your loans expensive?

Some are. Payday loans here carry a representative APR of 261% to 652%. We publish that figure, and we publish cheaper alternatives including credit union PALs at 28% APR alongside it.

What should I do if someone contacts me claiming to be you?

If you did not apply, or if they ask for payment upfront, gift cards or your banking password, it is not us. Tell us at contact-us and report it to the Federal Trade Commission at reportfraud.ftc.gov.
