Arro loan: does Arro offer loans?

No. Arro does not offer personal loans or cash. Its products are the Arro Card, a credit card with a line of up to $300 to start, and the Arro Credit Builder, a reported line of credit you cannot spend. If you need money in your bank account, you need a different product, and you can request a personal loan from $200 to $5,000 through our form.

What Arro offers, and what it does not

NeedDoes Arro cover it?
A credit card to build historyYes, the Arro Card
A reported tradeline with no spendingYes, the Arro Credit Builder
Cash deposited to your bankNo
A cash advance at an ATMNo
A loan for a set amount with fixed paymentsNo

People search for "Arro loan" for two reasons. Some see the Credit Builder described as a line of credit and expect funds. Others need cash and hope a card approval will provide it. Neither works: the Credit Builder exists only for reporting, and the card does not allow cash advances.

Requesting a loan through this site

Our form is a loan request service. You fill in one form, and it is shown to lenders and lending partners in our network. If one wants to make an offer, you see the amount, APR, fees and payment dates before you decide. You are free to say no.

What to know first:

  • We are not a lender and do not make credit decisions.
  • A request is not a guarantee of an offer.
  • Lenders may check your credit or other consumer reports.
  • Loans for people with thin credit are expensive. Compare the total repayment, not only the monthly figure.
  • Availability depends on your state.

Cheaper things to try first

  1. Ask the biller for a payment plan. Utilities, landlords and medical offices often agree.
  2. Ask your employer about a pay advance.
  3. Check a local credit union for a small-dollar or payday-alternative loan.
  4. Look for community assistance through 211.

If those do not work and the expense cannot wait, a loan can be a reasonable choice when the payments fit your budget.

Keep building credit either way

A loan covers today. A reported card or tradeline improves the rates you are offered next year. See how the Arro Card works or the alternatives in cards like Arro.
