Why Choose Us
What lendinblue.com does that other loan-request services don't — and what we're honest about.
There are dozens of services that route loan requests. Here's what makes lendinblue.com different — and the things we're transparent about that others bury.
What we do well
- Plain-English communication. Our pages avoid the legalese-and-disclaimers wall most lead-gen sites hide behind.
- Soft routing at the start. We don't pull your credit; we forward your request. A lender that wants to extend an offer may pull credit with your awareness.
- Compensation disclosed up front. Lenders pay us. We say so on the homepage, the Advertising Disclosure page, and our About Us. No hidden monetization.
- Mobile-friendly form. Form-first layout on phones; no SSN at step one; consents and full lender form on step two with all required disclosures.
- Easy opt-out. Our Unsubscribe page takes an email or phone number and processes the request within 10 business days. Reply STOP to text messages works immediately.
What we are honest about
- Short-term loan APRs are high. Often above 200%. We say so on the homepage. We point to alternatives (credit-union payday-alternative loans, employer paycheck advances) before you commit.
- We don't make credit decisions. If no lender in our network accepts your request, there's nothing we can do. We won't pretend otherwise.
- We forward your information to multiple lenders. Each has its own privacy practices, marketing programs, and unsubscribe processes. Once you've shared with a lender, you have to contact them directly to opt out of their communications.
- Compensation may affect lender ordering. Higher-paying lenders may be presented before lower-paying ones. That doesn't mean their rates are better — read the lender's Truth-in-Lending disclosure on the offer.
What we don't try to be
- We are not a bank.
- We are not a loan broker (we don't negotiate terms on your behalf).
- We are not a credit counselor (if you need one, look up the National Foundation for Credit Counseling).
- We are not a debt-consolidation service.
Our promise
Forward your loan request to lenders that will show you their APR, fees, and repayment schedule in writing before you sign — and let you walk away with no obligation if the numbers don't fit.
If we ever fall short, email hello@lendinblue.com and tell us. We take complaints seriously and we respond.
