The Application Process

1

Enter Loan Amount and Personal Info

Select how much you want to borrow ($500–$5,000) and enter basic information about yourself. This is a soft credit pull — no score impact.

2

Review Pre-Qualification Offers

Rise will show you any loan offers you qualify for. Review the APR, monthly payment, and total cost carefully before proceeding.

3

Accept the Offer (Hard Pull)

Accepting an offer triggers a hard credit inquiry. Your final terms are confirmed at this step. Electronic signatures are used.

4

Funds Deposited Next Business Day

For applications approved before 6 PM ET, funds arrive the next business day via ACH transfer. Rise will confirm the timeline in your approval email.

⚠️ Before you proceed: Rise APRs can reach 299%. Use our loan calculator to see the full cost of your loan before accepting any offer.

What if I'm Denied?

Rise denials are common for applicants outside their 30 available states or with very low income. If denied, consider: OppLoans (37 states), Avant (580+ credit), or your local credit union's PAL program.
