Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our marketplace service.

Is River Valley Loans a direct lender? +
No. River Valley Loans is a free online loan matching marketplace, not a direct lender or credit broker. We do not make loan offers, set interest rates, or make credit decisions. We connect consumers with a network of participating third-party lenders who may offer loan products.
Will submitting a request affect my credit score? +
Submitting a request through our marketplace may result in a soft credit inquiry from our matching process, which typically does not affect your credit score. However, if you proceed with a lender, that lender may perform a hard credit inquiry as part of their approval process, which can impact your credit score. Please review the lender's terms carefully.
How quickly can I receive funds? +
The speed of fund disbursement depends entirely on the individual lender you connect with and their specific processes. River Valley Loans has no control over funding timelines. Some network lenders may indicate next-business-day funding upon formal approval, while others may differ. Review all terms directly with the lender.
What are the interest rates and fees? +
River Valley Loans does not set or charge interest rates or fees. All rates and fees are determined by the individual lenders in our network and will vary based on your creditworthiness, loan amount, state of residence, and other factors. APRs in our network typically range from 4.99% to 35.99%. Always read the full loan agreement before accepting.
What are the repayment term options? +
Repayment terms offered by participating lenders range from a minimum of 61 days to a maximum of 72 months (6 years). The specific term available will depend on the lender, the loan amount, and your personal financial profile.
Can I apply if I have less-than-perfect credit? +
All credit types are welcome to submit a request through our free marketplace. Network lenders consider multiple credit and financial factors when reviewing applications. However, a match is not guaranteed, and any offer will be based on the lender's own evaluation criteria.
