Frequently Asked Questions

Sezzle Pay Later is a personal loan service that connects you with lending partners to help finance your purchases. We offer loans ranging from $500 to $5,000 with flexible repayment terms from 3 to 24 months. The process is simple: you apply online, receive a decision quickly (often within minutes), and once approved, funds are deposited directly into your bank account. You can then use the money for any purchase you need, from electronics and gaming gear to furniture and fitness equipment.

Loan amounts range from $500 to $5,000 depending on several factors including your credit score, income, employment status, and debt-to-income ratio. When you apply, we'll show you the exact amount you qualify for based on your unique financial profile. Many of our customers use these loans to purchase items like laptops, gaming setups, fitness equipment, furniture, and other goods they need for their daily lives.

The application process is designed to be quick and efficient. Most applicants complete the online form in just a few minutes. Once submitted, you'll typically receive a decision within minutes. If approved, funds are usually deposited into your bank account within one to two business days. In some cases, you may receive funds as soon as the same business day. The entire process from application to having money in your account can take as little as 24 hours.

To be eligible for a Sezzle Pay Later loan, you must meet the following basic requirements: be at least 18 years old (19 in some states), be a US citizen or permanent resident, have a valid Social Security number, have a regular source of income, possess an active checking account in your name, and have a valid email address and phone number for verification purposes. Meeting these requirements doesn't guarantee approval, as final decisions depend on your overall creditworthiness.

Yes, we encourage people with various credit backgrounds to apply. Our lending partners consider the full picture of your financial situation, not just your credit score. While having a higher credit score may help you qualify for better rates, applicants with fair or even poor credit may still be approved. We look at factors such as your income stability, employment history, and overall debt levels. The best way to find out if you qualify is to apply, as checking your rate uses a soft inquiry that won't affect your credit score.

Sezzle Pay Later is currently available in 45 states across the United States. Due to varying state regulations regarding personal loans, we're unable to serve residents in all states at this time. During the application process, you'll be informed whether services are available in your state. We're continuously working to expand our availability, so if we're not yet serving your area, please check back periodically as we add new states regularly.

Our Annual Percentage Rates (APR) range from 5.99% to 35.99%. Your specific rate depends on several factors including your credit score, credit history, income, loan amount, and chosen loan term. Applicants with excellent credit typically qualify for rates on the lower end of this range, while those with less-than-perfect credit may receive higher rates. You'll see your exact rate before you accept any loan offer, so there are never any surprises about what you'll pay.

We offer flexible repayment terms ranging from 3 to 24 months. Shorter terms mean higher monthly payments but less total interest paid over the life of the loan. Longer terms reduce your monthly payment amount but result in more interest paid overall. You can choose the term that best fits your budget and financial goals. Our loan calculator can help you estimate payments for different term lengths before you apply.

We pride ourselves on complete transparency with no hidden fees. All costs associated with your loan are clearly disclosed before you accept the offer. This includes the APR, any origination fees (if applicable), and the total amount you'll repay. We don't charge application fees, and there are no prepayment penalties if you decide to pay off your loan early. The rate and terms you see when approved are exactly what you'll pay.

Absolutely! We encourage responsible borrowing and there are no prepayment penalties with Sezzle Pay loans. If you have extra funds and want to pay down your balance faster, you're free to do so at any time without incurring additional fees. Paying off your loan early can save you money on interest and help you become debt-free sooner. You can make extra payments or pay off the entire remaining balance whenever you choose.

Loan payments are typically made via automatic bank withdrawal (ACH) from the checking account you provided during the application process. Payments are automatically deducted on your scheduled due date, making it easy to stay on track without having to remember to make manual payments. You'll receive payment reminders before each due date. If you need to update your payment method or banking information, you can do so through your account or by contacting customer support.

If you miss a payment, late fees may apply depending on your loan agreement. Missing payments can also negatively impact your credit score. If you're having trouble making a payment, we strongly encourage you to contact our customer support team as soon as possible. We may be able to work with you on a solution, such as adjusting your payment date or discussing hardship options. It's always better to communicate proactively rather than miss payments without notice.

In many cases, yes. We understand that everyone's pay schedule is different, and we try to be flexible. If your current payment due date doesn't align well with when you receive your income, contact our customer support team to discuss changing it. While not all requests can be accommodated, we do our best to help you set up a payment schedule that works with your financial situation and reduces the risk of missed payments.

We take data security extremely seriously. All personal and financial information transmitted through our platform is protected using industry-standard encryption technology, including 256-bit SSL encryption. We follow strict data protection protocols and never sell your personal information to third parties. Our systems are regularly audited and monitored to ensure the highest levels of security. You can apply with confidence knowing your sensitive information is safe.

When you initially apply and check your rate, we perform a soft credit inquiry, which does not affect your credit score. This allows you to see your personalized rate and terms without any negative impact on your credit. However, if you choose to accept a loan offer and proceed with the application, a hard credit inquiry will be performed, which may temporarily affect your credit score by a few points. This is standard practice for all lending products.

Yes, your loan activity will be reported to major credit bureaus. This can actually be beneficial for building your credit history if you make all your payments on time. Consistent, on-time payments demonstrate responsible credit behavior and can help improve your credit score over time. Conversely, missed or late payments will be reported and can negatively impact your credit. We report to help you build a positive credit history through responsible borrowing.

In general, you'll need to pay off your existing loan before applying for a new one. This policy helps ensure responsible borrowing and prevents customers from taking on more debt than they can comfortably manage. Once your current loan is paid off, you're welcome to apply for a new loan if you have additional financing needs. Some customers who have demonstrated a strong payment history may be eligible for increased loan amounts on future loans.
