Credit Requirements

Credit Requirements

Acorn Finance is an online lending marketplace where you can easily compare rates and monthly payments from different lenders without impacting your credit score. Anyone can check for offers on Acorn Finance.

However, each lender that participates on the Acorn marketplace has a specific set of credit requirements that helps them determine, based on risk, who to lend money to. These requirements typically includes things like:
  • Your credit score
  • Your employment status and income level
  • Your credit history
  • Your debt-to-income ratio (lenders typically look to see if your outstanding debt obligations plus any new debt can be supported by your income so they can evaluate how likely it is that you will be able to repay the loan)

Generally speaking, the minimum credit score our lenders consider is around 560. They also look at other information from your credit report to determine your eligibility for a loan.
