The best way to borrow $5,000 with no credit check is to apply for a personal loan from a lender that will not do a hard inquiry into your credit history, like Upstart or OneMain Financial. To determine if you can repay the loan, the lender will look into other things like your income and employment status.
Unfortunately, few reputable lenders will offer loans of $5,000 with no credit check, so there isn't much of a selection. Although some alternatives are available, Upstart personal loans are a good option because they offer high loan amounts with low APRs.
Other Places to Get a $5,000 Loan With No Credit Check
- Friends and family: There's no limit on the amount you can borrow from friends and family, as long as they're willing to lend it. Just be sure to have a solid repayment plan so you don't ruin your relationship.
- Pawnshops: Pawnshops typically offer 25% - 60% of an item's value, and they hold onto that item while you repay the money with interest. The interest is expensive, though, and if you don't pay on time the pawnshop will sell the item rather than return it to you.
- Auto title lenders: You can get a loan of around 25% to 50% of the value of your car, to be repaid in 15 to 30 days. But if you can’t pay it back – with interest as high as 25% of what you borrow – you could lose your car.
