LendingMate FAQs

Will LendingMate check my credit score when I apply for a personal loan?

LendingMate advertises its guarantor loans as having no credit checks. However, while Lendingmate might not check your credit score, they will want to confirm that you have no active bankruptcy or outstanding consumer proposal. In addition, this lender will perform a credit check on your guarantor.

Can I get a LendingMate personal loan without a guarantor?

No. All borrowers must have a suitable guarantor to qualify.

How do guarantor loans work?

When taking out a guarantor loan, you need a trusted friend or family member who’s both willing and able to make the monthly repayments for your loan if you fail to do so. Guarantor loans are very similar to co-signed loans.
The main difference is that a guarantor will only become liable for the loan payments after the lender has exhausted all options for getting the primary borrower to pay. On the other hand, a cosigner is responsible for the debt even if the lender does not take any additional steps to collect monthly payments from the original borrower.
