Frequently asked questions

No. BorrowForward is a loan shopping and matching service. We do not lend money and we do not make credit decisions. We help connect you with participating lenders and marketplace partners who may be able to review your request.

You answer a few quick questions about what you’re looking for. With your consent, we share your request with participating partners to check whether any may be a fit. If a partner is interested, you may be connected to continue directly with them. The full walkthrough is on How it works.

Submitting a request through BorrowForward does not, by itself, affect your credit score. A participating partner may review your credit as part of evaluating your request; whether that is a soft or hard inquiry is disclosed by that partner. The longer explanation is Does this affect my credit?.

BorrowForward is free to use. We may receive compensation from participating partners when we connect you with them, as described in our Advertiser Disclosure.

No. Submitting a request does not guarantee that you will be matched with a partner or offered any loan, rate, term, or amount. Those decisions are made solely by the lender or marketplace partner based on their criteria and your eligibility.
