How long does it take to get approved for a P2P loan?

Peer-to-peer (P2P) loans are known for their relatively quick approval process. The time taken typically depends on several factors. Here’s an overview:

  • The time it takes to get approved for a peer-to-peer (P2P) loan can vary, but typically, it often takes a few days to a couple of weeks.
  • First, you fill out an application online, which usually takes up to an hour. The P2P company then reviews your documents, like proof of identity and income, to confirm them. This normally takes around 1-2 days.
  • Next, the P2P company runs a credit check and evaluates your request to decide whether to approve it and what interest rate to give you. This step tends to add another day or two.
  • After you are approved, your loan request gets listed for individual P2P lending institutions to fund. It can take from a few hours up to several days to fully fund your loan.
  • Finally, once the P2P lending institution funds the full loan amount, the P2P company sends the money to your bank account, which normally happens within 1-2 days.

While it varies case-by-case, the decision and funding for a P2P loan often take a few days to a couple of weeks. The exact timeline depends on the specific P2P platform, your eligibility and credit, and the demand from the P2P lending platform.
