Applicants need a credit score as low as 620 to get a personal loan from LendingPoint, according to the company. That means the LendingPoint personal loan credit score requirement is in the bad credit range. To put this in perspective, most other lenders' credit score requirements for personal loans range between 600 and 700.... read full answer
Keep in mind that just having a 620 credit score is not enough to qualify you for a LendingPoint personal loan. LendingPoint will consider your entire financial profile, including things like your income, existing debts and recent credit inquiries, when deciding whether to approve you. It's also worth noting that some applicants might be able to get a personal loan from LendingPoint with a slightly lower score if it's offset by other factors like an especially high income. But it's best to wait to apply until your score meets the threshold.
