ACCEPTANCE OF THE LOAN
HOW MUCH DO I HAVE TO WAIT TO KNOW IF MY LOAN IS ACCEPTED?
It is immediate in case of a private individual. In no time after sending your information, the system applies an algorithm with the socio-economical data provided by you and it responses you explaining if the loan has been or hasn´t pre-accepted, as well as your solvency level and the loan conditions for that solvency level.
WHAT IS THE MEANING OF A PRE-ACCEPTED LOAN?
It means that it´s a temporary acceptance provided by the system automatically according to the data you have introduced. You only need to upload the information we´ll be asking to check if those data are real or not?
HOW A PRE-ACCEPTED FORM CAN TURN INTO A FINAL ONE?
Our risk department will send you an e-mail applying for the necessary documentation to check if the information introduced is correct or not. It will also check your veracity in public databases, as well as your presence or not in database of defaulters. If the data are correct and your payment file is clean, our risk department will send you an e-mail explaining that your application has been successfully accepted.
CAN I CANCEL THE CONDITIONS OF THE PRE-ACEEPTED LOAN IF THEY DON´T INTEREST ME?
Yes, at any time prior to the publication of the loan, it´s possible cancelling the application from your user board. Once it´s published, you will have to get in contact with us to cancel it via email.
HOW MUCH TIME DO I HAVE TO MAKE A CHOICE?
You have 15 days to decide whether to accept the conditions of the loan that has been pre-accepted or not. Once that period has time has passed, if you haven´t sent the necessary documentation, we´ll proceed to cancel the application. If you want the loan after the period of time has passed, there´s no problem, you only need to start a new application from the beginning.
HOW MUCH TIME DO I HAVE TO CANCEL MY ACCEPTED LOAN DEFINITIVELY?
You can cancel your application at any time until the moment in which you accept your loan contract. Until that moment, it was simply an application at different stages, but it doesn´t turn into a definitive loan until the contract has been signed. From that moment and on, there´s a contractual relation, the application is signed in the website and the financing process carried out by investors begins.
WHAT HAPPENS IN THE DOCUMENTATION PROVIDED DOESN´T COINCIDE WITH THE INFORMATION OF THE APPLICATION?
If the information provided doesn´t coincide with the application, the loan is rejected by our risk department. You´ll have to start a new application with the correct information so the system can calculate again your solvency level.

WHO LOANS ME THE MONEY?

WHAT HAPPENS IN THE INVESTORS DON´T COVER THE QUANTITY THAT I HAVE APPLIED IN ITS TOTALITY?
If once the financing period of time has come to an end and the quantity of money applied hasn´t been totally covered, the loan is declared as cancelled. You can apply for a new loan but changing the conditions.
WHEN WILL I RECEIVE THE MONEY?
As soon as the loan is completely financed, the loan contract and the SEPA signed, we will send the money in your account.
