Who does what

What the co-borrower does

Money911 is not the lender.

A co-borrower commits to the loan with you, which lowers the lender’s risk. At Money911, that co-borrower is us. The loan itself comes from a separate lender.

Three separate layers: your request, Money911 (the co-borrower) and the separate lender.
  1. You

    You apply online, then complete the bank verification.

  2. Money911

    We review the request and commit to the loan with you.

  3. The lender

    A separate lender grants the loan and sends you the contract.

Panel by panel

The steps of a request

  1. Step 1

    You fill in the form

    The online form is open anytime.

  2. Step 2

    You complete the bank verification

    Online, after you send the form.

  3. Step 3

    We review your request

    Based on your ability to repay. Approval is not guaranteed.

  4. Step 4

    You sign the lender’s contract

    It’s sent once you’re approved; the deposit follows your signature.

Step 2, up close

Instant bank verification (IBV)

Instant bank verification sends us a read-only copy of your statement. We never see your username or password.
