Due to the changes in the Military Lending Act effective October 3, 2016, RISE is not available to applicants listed as Covered Borrowers in the Military Lending Act database, including qualifying active duty service members and their dependents as defined in 32 C.F.R. § 232 unless a loan product is offered that complies with this Act https://mla.dmdc.osd.mil/

Our loan approval amounts range from $500 to $5,000 - depending on the laws of your state. Returning customers may be eligible for an increased loan amount depending on their payment history and the affordability of the amount requested. See our How It Works page for more information.

The amount you are approved for is determined based on your state of residence, our assessment of what you can afford and your credit history. In several states we are not allowed by law to offer lower loan amounts. To understand the loans that we offer in your state please visit our Empty> How It Works page. 

If we receive your application by 6pm ET and you are approved, we can electronically deposit your money into your account as early as the next business day (M-F excluding bank holidays). You can contact the ACH department of your bank to verify that the funds have been credited to your account. If you prefer, you can request a paper check. If a paper check is chosen please allow 7-10 days for delivery via the USPS. Applications received after 6pm ET are processed the next business day.

When you are approved, your first payment date and re-payment schedule are determined from your application information. At this time you cannot pick different payment dates other than what is presented on the Design Your Loan page. We do offer a 7-day payment extension for those times when you need a few extra days to make your payment.

This depends on our assessment of what you can afford, your application information and credit history and the loan amounts and terms offered in your state Empty (see How It Works for more information on the terms and fees in your state). It’s important to remember that RISE may not be the cheapest credit option and may not be the best option for you. To understand how our rates compare to other options check out the Why RISE page.

You have 5 business days from the date you signed your loan agreement to change your mind. If you decide that the loan isn’t right for you, simply call Customer Support at (866) 580-1226 and tell us that you no longer want the loan. You will repay the principal and will not be charged any fees or interest.

Please contact Customer Support if you’re unable to make a payment by the due date. RISE offers payment extensions for those times when you need a few extra days. In most states, charges will continue to accrue on overdue amounts when you miss a payment.

If you no longer want ACH as your payment meth please contact Empty Customer Support and tell the agent you’d like to revoke your ACH debit authorization. The agent will make the necessary changes to your account and speak with you about alternative payment options available to you.

Applying for a loan refinance will not affect your FICO® credit score.  Customers may become eligible to refinance their loan and get more money by making repeated timely payments of at least the minimum amount due.  When you become eligible we will send you an email notification.  Refinance eligibility is subject to RISE’s discretion.  RISE may obtain information from Clarity, Teletrack or LexisNexis, which will be a hard inquiry and may affect your overall credit profile with these bureaus.  Not all states are eligible for refinancing. 

When you are approved for a refinance, you will receive a new loan, which will be used to pay off your current balance, and then we’ll send the remaining cash to you!

You are getting a new loan, so your APR, loan schedule and payment amount may change from what it is today. You can review all of this information after you apply on the Design Your Loan page. The complete disclosure of APR, fees and payment terms will be provided in your new Loan Agreement.

Yes, this will be a new loan. In order to obtain the funds, you must sign a loan agreement for the new loan amount.

The inquiry on your credit report is the result of either an application you submitted and the loan was not accepted or a marketing campaign for a pre-screen offer.  Both are a “soft inquiry” on your credit report and therefore does not affect your FICO® score.

Currently, the lender reports your account and payment history to Experian™ and TransUnion® monthly.  They may also report to several specialty credit bureaus such as Clarity and Teletrack.

Once a hard inquiry is reported, and the loan agreement is signed, the lender is unable to remove the hard inquiry from your credit report.  The consumer credit reporting agencies control how long inquiries remain on your credit report.  Additionally, they control how long any derogatory information remains on a credit report.

Once you accept and sign the credit agreement, it is the lender’s policy to report loan activity to the credit bureaus and report information accurately.

In preparation for marketing campaigns, a lender may pre-screen potential customers which means they evaluate their credit history so they can decide whether to offer them credit.  The pre-screen process is a soft inquiry and therefore does not affect your FICO® score or VantageScore®.

You can choose to stop receiving “prescreened” offers of credit from us and other companies by calling TransUnion and Experian toll-free at 1-888-567-8688, Clarity toll-free at 1-866-390-3118, and Teletrack toll-free at 1-877-309-5226.  You can also visit optoutprescreen.com.  Please note this site asks for your social security number but you’re not required to provide it to continue through the opt out process.

To determine a potential borrower’s creditworthiness, the lender may check your credit with a credit reporting agency such as TransUnion®, Experian™, Clarity, Teletrack, and Factor Trust.

Account and payment history information is pulled on the last calendar day of the month.  Once pulled, that data is reviewed and then sent to the credit bureaus at the end of the following month (roughly 30 days later).  While we provide accurate information to credit bureaus, the credit reporting agencies are responsible for how and when the information is reported on your credit report.  The credit bureaus typically update their records within 5 calendar days, but timelines may vary depending on the specific credit reporting agency.

If you haven’t seen an update on your credit report after 60 days, please reach out to us or the credit reporting agency directly.

If you received an alert that we pulled your credit, you recently accepted and signed a credit agreement.

If you did not accept and sign an agreement with us in the last 60 days, please contact us immediately at 866-580-1226.

Due to the complexity of how credit scores are calculated, we’re unable to determine the exact impact making on-time payments on your account will have on your credit score. However, making on-time payments is one of the most important factors in building and maintaining good credit.

Credit Score Plus is a free service offered by RISE that provides any RISE account holder a view of their TransUnion^® credit score. This service also includes credit alert notifications that can be viewed through your account. Visit our Credit Score Plus page to enroll and our Build Good Credit page to learn more about what a good credit score means for you. 

The credit score is developed by TransUnion^® from information in a consumer's credit report. It is calculated on a scale of 300 to 850. The TransUnion^® score is calculated with an algorithm taking into account factors of an individual's credit such as on-time payment percentage, length of credit history, number of credit lines, and more. Like other scoring models, TransUnion^® New Account simply uses a mathematical formula, plus the credit report, to assess how likely the customer is to pay their debts.  By law, you can receive one free credit report every year from each of the three bureaus. Visit ourEmpty Build Good Credit page to learn more about your credit and how to request your copies of your credit report.

When you receive notification of a TransUnion^® credit alert, you are being informed of new information added to your credit report that may impact your credit score. Details of your alerts can be viewed on the Credit Score Plus page within My Account.
