Direct lenders for bad credit
What is a direct lender?
A direct lender issues the loan and sets its terms. PaydayExpert is a comparison platform, not a direct lender. Any application is reviewed by the provider, and approval is never guaranteed.

Explore our money guidesHow is a direct lender different from a comparison website?
A direct lender provides the credit. A comparison website helps you explore providers. PaydayExpert is the comparison service; check the lender’s name on your actual agreement.
What should I compare between bad-credit loan offers?
Start with the total repayment, payment dates and loan type. Then check fees for missed payments and whether the provider reports repayments to a credit bureau. Compare offers for the same amount and term.
Will a payday loan help rebuild my credit?
Do not borrow on that assumption. Ask whether the lender reports regular payments, to which bureau, and how missed payments are handled. Our credit guides explain other points to consider.
