Our Review of Credit Cube Loans

Brian Allen

Credit Cube is a tribal lender that offers bad credit installment loans. For first time borrowers, you can borrow as little as $100 up to a maximum of $400. If you are a returning customer with solid history of repaying your loan on time, you can borrow as much as $5,000. However, here’s the problem. The interest rates are astronomical. In fact, for first time borrowers the interest rate can be as high as 779% APR. The only reason you should use this tribal lender is if you have a short term emergency expense and you’ve exhausted all other options.

Loan Rates and Terms

Moving to the products, you will find that Credit Cube offers potential customers three different types of loans. The loan types are short-term loan, quick loans and low-interest loans, but we’ll be focusing on the short-term loan terms. Quick loans are too much like a payday loan and can quickly inflate your financial issues while an installment loans gives you the flexibility to repay the note over several months.

With a short-term loan, you can potentially borrow between $100 and $5,000 and the interest rates will vary between 259.94% to 779.97%. These rates are competitive within the tribal lending marketplace but are certainly expensive compared to more traditional methods. Keep in mind that short-term installment loans are not for long-term financial solutions and shouldn’t be used as such.

To quickly touch on the other products, the payday loans are repaid on your next payday and typically have very high fees and interest rates, which can make your financial issue worse. This is why it’s best to stick with short-term installment loans if you are in a need to borrow.

How to Apply for a Loan

To begin the application process, you need to begin with your name, email address and account password. From there, you will be required to input the typically information about yourself, such as address, social security number and driver’s license. Next, you will move to your work information that helps Credit Cube ensure the have a higher probability of being repaid. Once you’ve done that you can review your information and submit the form for a decision. The application is fast and secure according to most Credit Cube reviews.

Once you’ve submitted your application your results should be available within seconds, but Credit Cube may need to contact you to verify your identity, income and banking information. After you’ve completed that process you will be ready to receive your loan proceeds. If you’ve completed the loan process and been approved prior to 3pm EST, you can expect your funds to be deposited on the next business day. Before signing your loan agreement, you need to diligently read the terms and rates because this is what you’ll be legally held too. Should something not seem correct, be sure to reach out to the company to have it clarified before signing.

Next Steps

Now that you have your loan proceeds you can begin spending how you wish. Also, you will begin the repayment process. There are two methods you can go with and they include paying as the repayment schedule states or prepaying your note as quickly as possible. Credit Cube does indicate repaying your note early is the better option as it saves you money on interest expense. According to quite a few Credit Cube reviews, this is exactly what many borrowers do.

You can either repay your loan through the bank information you provided, or you can submit a certified check.
