Take special care when applying for a loan online. What most people want to know is online lending a scam or the real deal? The answer is that some sites are real and will even be competitive. But many sites are not and you may not be dealing with who you think you are! Deal with the main banks and lenders in your area. Check the URL of the site you are on. If it does not look legit it probably is not. Some sites are just phishing sites which are to say they are trying to get your personal information to use it for their own gain. They might take out a loan on your behalf or sell your information to someone else to be used. Either way, it will hurt you financially in the long run.

Online Lending A Scam Or the Real Deal

If you already deal with a regular bank, call them and apply in person. Or apply from an online site you use on a regular basis to do your banking.

If you must use another site do some research first. lol for reviews online. Check out what people are saying about this lender.

If you cannot find out information on them or it looks suspicious, moved on to another lender. Also, review the terms and conditions. Rates and fees might be really high and cost you more money than you are prepared to spend. Be careful with online loans!
