iOS · Loan-Matching App

A friendlier way to shop personal loan offers.

Loans NG is a US-only iOS app that helps you privately compare pre-qualification offers from licensed third-party lenders — in a single, calm flow. We are a marketplace, not a lender.

What Loans NG actually does.

Most loan-finder apps try to look like a lender. We don’t. Loans NG is a marketplace — you fill out a single form, and licensed third-party lenders look at your profile and decide whether they want to send you an offer. You stay in control: review terms, pick what fits, or walk away.

What we do

  • Run a single, structured pre-qualification form for you.
  • Share your information with a network of licensed third-party lenders.
  • Display the offers those lenders return, with clear amount, APR and term ranges.
  • Keep your data encrypted and let you ask us to delete it at any time.
  • Receive a referral fee from a lender if you continue with one of their offers.

What we don’t do

  • We are not a lender. We don’t fund loans or move money between accounts.
  • We don’t set rates, fees or repayment schedules — those come from the lender.
  • We don’t guarantee approval. Final decisions rest with each lender’s underwriting.
  • We don’t promise “same-day cash” or any specific funding speed — that depends on your bank and lender.
  • We don’t pretend that lenders skip credit checks. They run a soft inquiry at pre-qualification and may run a hard inquiry once you accept an offer; both belong to the lender, not to us.
Three small steps

Built around one short application.

Inside the app, the flow is the same for everyone. No surprise screens, no upsells.

Step 01 1

Tell us a bit about you

Name, contact details, address, employment, income, the loan amount you want and the bank account where funds would land. We ask once — not on every screen.

Step 02 2

We share your profile with our lender network

Licensed partner lenders review what you submitted and decide whether to extend a pre-qualification offer. Pre-qualification uses a soft inquiry, which does not affect your credit score.

Step 03 3

You compare and choose — or skip

If offers come back, you see APR, term and total cost side-by-side. If you accept one, the lender takes over: hard inquiry, final underwriting, agreement, and funding. We step out of the way.

Most lenders fund accepted loans within 1–3 business days. Final timing depends on the lender, your bank, and the time of day you accept.

In three frames

Three honest moments.

Three things that happen as you go through Loans NG — and three that don’t. Side by side, in plain language.

1 When you tap Download
What happens

The App Store opens. You install Loans NG like any other free iOS app. No data leaves your device until you start the form.

What doesn’t

No “instant pre-approval” prompt. No phone call. No SMS. No marketing email — we don’t even know who you are yet.

2 When you submit the form
What happens

Your application is shared with licensed lenders in our network over an encrypted channel. They review it on their side using a soft inquiry.

What doesn’t

No hard inquiry on your report. No funds move. No “guaranteed match” promise. We don’t auto-rollover or auto-renew anything.

3 When offers come back
What happens

You see APR, term and total cost side-by-side. Pick one and the lender takes over: hard inquiry, final agreement, funding through ACH.

What doesn’t

Closing the app isn’t an obligation. We don’t sign you up by default and we don’t pretend that walking away is the wrong move.

Honest math

Ranges in our network, and one worked example.

Final APR, fees and amounts are determined by the individual lender based on creditworthiness, state of residence and term length. State law may further cap APR — for example, New York and Massachusetts apply lower limits than the upper bound below.

Network ranges

Loan amounts $50 – $5,000
APR range 4% – 35.99%
Repayment terms 70 days – 36 months
Origination fees 0% – 8%
Late / NSF fees Set by lender
Try the math

What it might look like.

Drag the sliders to see how amount, term and APR shape a monthly payment. Stays inside the network envelope. Your real offer is set by whichever lender approves your application.

Loan amount $1,500
$50$5,000
Term (months) 12 mo
3 mo36 mo
APR 18.0%
4%35.99%
Monthly payment $137.50
Total interest $150.05
Total repayment $1,650.05

Illustrative only. Network APR ranges from 4% to 35.99% and term from 70 days to 36 months; the slider stays inside that envelope. Your actual rate, fees and schedule are determined by the lender that approves your application and by the laws of your state. State usury caps may further reduce the upper bound.

Who can apply

Eligibility, in one short list.

Lenders set their own underwriting, but the platform itself has a few baseline requirements. If any of these don’t fit, we’d rather you know up front than waste your time.

  • 1
    You are 18 or older (or the age of majority in your state).
  • 2
    You are a US resident with a verifiable SSN or ITIN.
  • 3
    You hold an active checking account at a US financial institution.
  • 4
    You have a verifiable income source — employment, self-employment, benefits or another stable stream.
  • 5
    You can provide accurate, current information; submitting fabricated data is grounds for refusal and possible referral to fraud prevention.
30-second self-check

Will I qualify?

Four short questions. Lenders make their own calls — but this tells you whether the platform’s baseline is even open for an application. Nothing leaves your browser.

Are you 18 or older (or the age of majority in your state)?
Are you a US resident with a valid SSN or ITIN?
Do you have an active checking account at a US bank?
Do you have a verifiable income source (employment, self-employment, benefits)?

Looks like you meet the platform’s baseline.

You’re not blocked at the door. Each lender still applies their own underwriting based on creditworthiness, state of residence and other criteria — but the four platform-level requirements are clear. Whenever you’re ready, you can fill out the in-app form.

Get the app on iOS

One or more baseline items are off.

Lenders likely won’t be able to consider an application from the network right now. The most common reasons are age, US-residency, having a bank account, or a verifiable income source. If your situation changes, the app will be here.

A couple of items aren’t clear.

It might still work — but read the eligibility section above and the relevant FAQ before applying. Submitting fabricated or guessed information is grounds for refusal and possible referral to fraud prevention.

Data, on purpose

Where your information goes — said out loud.

Loans NG is a lead-generation platform. That means we share your application with lenders who pay us a referral fee when a match is made. Under California’s CCPA / CPRA, that transfer can qualify as a “sale” or “sharing.” We say so plainly, instead of pretending otherwise.

Compensation, in plain English

  • We may receive a referral, marketing or per-funded-loan fee from a lender when you connect with them through the app.
  • Compensation may influence the order in which offers appear. It does not change the legal terms of any specific lender’s offer.
  • Lenders set their own privacy practices once they receive your data. We can’t recall data already shared.

Your rights

  • California residents may opt out of the “sale” / “sharing” of personal information by emailing support@shortloansng.com with the subject “Do Not Sell My Information.”
  • Residents of Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas and other states with comprehensive privacy laws have similar rights — same email, please.
  • You can request a copy of what we hold, ask for corrections, or ask us to delete it (subject to GLBA / FCRA retention rules).
  • Marketing SMS and calls are separate consent. Opting out of marketing does not opt you out of data sharing — that’s a different request.

Full details on what we collect, how it’s stored and how to make a request live in our data handling policy.

Real questions

Things people actually ask us.

If you don’t see your question here, write us through help & support — a human reads every message.

Loans NG mascot raising a paw to ask a question
Are you a lender?
No — and we’d rather repeat that than let it slip. Loans NG is a loan-matching marketplace operated by SHORT LOANS NG LLC. We do not lend money, set rates, or approve applications. Every offer you see comes from an independent third-party lender who underwrites it under their own criteria and applicable law.
Will using the app affect my credit score?
The pre-qualification step inside the app uses a soft credit inquiry, which is not visible to other lenders and does not affect your credit score. If you choose to move forward with a specific offer, the lender (not us) may run a hard inquiry as part of their final approval; that is the lender’s decision and their disclosure.
How fast can I receive funds?
Most lenders in our network fund approved loans within 1–3 business days. The exact timing depends on the lender’s internal process and your bank’s ACH cutoff times. We deliberately avoid promising any specific funding speed, because the part that controls it is the lender’s and the bank’s, not ours.
What does Loans NG cost?
The app itself is free to download and use. We earn a referral or marketing fee from lenders when a borrower connects through the app and, in some cases, when a loan is funded. You pay only the lender’s disclosed APR, fees and repayment — never us.
What information do you collect?
The fields a lender needs to evaluate a loan application: legal name, date of birth, address, contact details, SSN or ITIN, driver’s license number, employment and income, loan purpose, and bank account / routing numbers. We explain why for each field, and we treat all of it as nonpublic personal information under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.
How can I delete my account or opt out of data sharing?
Send a request to support@shortloansng.com with the subject “Privacy Request” and tell us what you want — deletion, opt-out of sale, correction, or a copy of your information. We aim to respond within 15 business days for opt-outs and within 45 days for full California-style requests. Note that lenders we already shared your data with operate under their own policies.
Why do you ask for my Social Security number?
Lenders use SSN (or ITIN) for identity verification, KYC, and to look up credit information when they choose to. We send it to lenders over an encrypted channel; we do not display it on any screen of the app once entered, and we don’t use it for marketing.
Can I use Loans NG outside the United States?
No. The app, the lender network and the disclosures are designed for US residents only. State eligibility may further restrict who lenders are able to work with.
Loans NG mascot pointing at a glossary card
Plain-English glossary

Lending words, in human.

Eight terms that come up in the app and on this page. Tap any one to see what it actually means — no jargon, no fine-print runaround.

APRAnnual Percentage Rate
The total cost of borrowing for a year, expressed as a percentage. APR includes the interest rate plus most fees, so two loans with the same interest rate but different fees end up with different APRs. Lenders in the network advertise APRs from 4% to 35.99%; your actual APR depends on the lender, your credit profile and your state.
Soft inquiryPre-qualification check
A credit check that does not affect your credit score and is invisible to other lenders. Pre-qualification inside Loans NG uses a soft inquiry only — you can compare options without taking a hit on your score.
Hard inquiryFinal-decision check
A credit check that may slightly lower your score for a short period and is visible to other lenders. A lender may run a hard inquiry only after you accept their offer — and only that lender, not us. You will see this disclosed before you sign.
Origination feeOne-time setup charge
A one-time fee a lender charges to process a loan. In our network it ranges from 0% to 8% of the principal. The lender discloses the exact origination fee in the loan agreement before you accept.
NSF feeNon-sufficient funds
A charge from your bank or the lender if a scheduled payment fails because there is not enough money in your account on the due date. Avoiding NSF fees is one reason we recommend you confirm the schedule fits your cash flow before signing.
ITINFor non-SSN applicants
Individual Taxpayer Identification Number — an IRS-issued ID for people without a Social Security number. Most lenders in our network accept either an SSN or an ITIN, so an ITIN does not block you from applying.
KYCKnow Your Customer
The legal step where a lender verifies you are really you. That is why they ask for a government ID, address, and SSN or ITIN. KYC is required by federal law, including the Bank Secrecy Act and Patriot Act compliance rules.
ACHBank-to-bank transfer rail
Automated Clearing House — the US bank-to-bank rail used to move money between accounts. Disbursement of funds and repayment usually run on ACH and respect each bank’s posting cut-off times. That is why “same-day” funding is sometimes possible and sometimes not.
Our pledge

Six things we will never do.
And what we do instead — written down so you can hold us to it.

  1. 01

    We never call you uninvited.

    Insteadyou reach us — by email or in-app — and we reply within one business day.

  2. 02

    We never use scarcity tactics or fake urgency.

    Insteadeach rate, term and timeline is the actual one, valid through the offer expiry the lender sets.

  3. 03

    We never share your data with anyone you haven’t authorized.

    Insteadpartners receiving your application are listed in section 6 of our data handling policy.

  4. 04

    We never claim “no credit check.”

    Insteadwe say upfront: a soft inquiry runs at pre-qualification, a hard inquiry only after you accept.

  5. 05

    We never charge you a fee.

    Insteadevery fee that applies sits in the lender’s disclosure box before you sign — nothing else from us.

  6. 06

    We never punish walking away.

    Insteadyou can close the app at any step — no follow-up calls, no marketing emails, no surcharges.

Each pledge maps to a specific compliance rule (TCPA, UDAAP, FTC Act §5, CCPA / CPRA). If anything drifts, write to support@shortloansng.com with the subject “Pledge breach” — we will reply within one business day.
