Bottom line

MoneyLion credit builder loans are best for consumers who can’t get a loan in other financial institutions due to bad or zero credit. Since the company reports all credit payments to the three major nationwide credit bureaus, its loan products can help you build or improve your credit history. Their loan products come with low APRs, however, its monthly membership charge can be quite high, depending on your loan amount. It seems to us that it makes no sense to borrow small amounts from this lender and pay its $19.99 monthly fee.

Types of loans

MoneyLion loan options are very limited. They only offer credit-builder loans (up to $1,000) that could help you fix or build your credit with on-time payments.

Eligibility criteria

To get approved for a MoneyLion loan, you must:

  • be 18 or older;
  • have U.S. citizenship or permanent residency;
  • have a Social Security number;
  • have a checking account in good standing that has been open for at least 60 days.

I love them. Just makes borrowing so easy for me. They always are there when I need fast cash.
- William Morrison

★☆☆☆☆
They were lying to their clients. Worst customer service. They are constantly changing their policies. A very greedy lender. And a monthly fee for investment is sky-high. Do not do business with them! There are many better options are out there. Do some research!
- Amanda Jenson

★☆☆☆☆
Nice app to navigate. But interest is crazy!
- Kevin Romero

★☆☆☆☆
I received a loan and they took the repayment on the wrong date!! Not recommended.
- Brian Houle

★☆☆☆☆
There are no pros to this company… this was the worst mistake of my life. I got a loan for $1000 but they only gave me $300 and now I have to pay interest on a $1,000 loan for 24 months.
- Betty Glover

★★★★☆
I really like this company. Their loans are really helpful. I got access to $1,000 and also member benefits. In general, I’m satisfied with the experience. But they didn’t connect to my bank and I had trouble with this issue.
- Jermaine Prunty
