What Is a Bank Statement Loan?
A bank statement loan is a type of loan that uses your recent bank statements to determine how much money you can borrow. The amount of money you can borrow is based on how much you’ve been able to deposit each month. Your deposits are seen as a measure of your capability to repay the loan.
These loans are sometimes called “personal bank statement loans” or “business bank statement loans.” With a personal bank statement loan, the loan is based on your personal deposits. With a business bank statement loan, the loan is based on your business’s revenue/deposits.
What Are the Benefits of a Bank Statement Loan?
There are several benefits of bank statement loans, including:
- Flexible credit requirements. Because your deposits are used as income, you don’t need to have excellent credit to qualify for a bank statement loan.
- You don’t need lots of assets. Unlike other types of loans, you don’t need to have a lot of assets to secure a bank statement loan in Maine. It makes it easier for people who don’t own a home or have a lot of savings to qualify for a loan.
- You can get funding quickly. Bank statement loans can be approved and funded quickly in many cases. This is helpful if you want quick access to financing.
- You can borrow up to $5 million. Depending on how much you’ve been able to deposit each month, you could qualify for a loan of up to $5 million. It can be helpful if you need a large amount of money for a major purchase.
- You can use the money for anything. There are no restrictions on how you can use the money from a bank statement loan. You can use it for any purpose, including starting a business, paying off debt, or funding a major purchase.
