Loan Ridge makes installment loans of up to $2,000 to Missouri residents. You repay in monthly payments over up to 12 months. We are a state-licensed direct lender in Missouri, and the application uses a soft inquiry, so it does not affect your FICO score.
Applying does NOT affect your FICO® credit score!
Why people pick installments
A single repayment date is hard on a tight budget. An installment loan splits the cost across several months, so each payment is smaller and the schedule is known on day one. For a car repair, a medical bill or a move, that is often easier to plan than one lump sum.
Loan Ridge loans are unsecured. You do not put up a car or a home as collateral.
Missouri eligibility
You must live in Missouri. Loan Ridge lends only in Texas, Missouri and Utah. You also need to:
Be at least 18 years old.
Be a US citizen or a permanent resident.
Have an active bank account.
Have a regular source of income.
Have a valid phone number and an active email address.
You can apply with a joint application. Approval is never guaranteed and the offer depends on our underwriting.
Payments, term and early payoff
Borrow up to $2,000. Repay monthly over up to 12 months, with each payment withdrawn automatically from your bank account. Our Missouri example on the Missouri page also shows a bi-weekly schedule for people who prefer smaller, more frequent payments.
You can pay extra or close the loan early with no added fees. We report your payment history to the three major credit bureaus, and on-time payments may improve your score.
Soft inquiry, not a hard pull
We only perform soft inquiries when we review applications. A soft pull does not appear on your credit history as a hard inquiry, and applying does not affect your credit score. If you are comparing offers, this means you can ask without paying for it in points.
Cost and licence
Rates, fees and terms vary and are disclosed in writing before you accept any loan. The worked example on the Missouri page shows what a $1,000 loan looks like over monthly payments, along with the maximum APR we offer. Read it before you apply.
Loan Ridge is licensed in Missouri and examined by the Missouri Division of Finance. The regulator details and the registry link are on the same page. For a comparison with other loan types, see our pros and cons of different loans.
A quick way to size the loan
Start with the bill you need to cover and work backwards. If it is $800, you do not need to borrow $2,000. Pick the smallest amount that solves the problem, then check that the monthly payment fits your budget after rent and utilities. A smaller loan costs less and ends sooner.
A phone number you answer and an email address you check, because the approval notice comes by email.
After you are approved, you e-sign the contract and the funds go to your account by direct deposit.
Questions to ask any Missouri lender
Is the lender licensed with the Missouri Division of Finance? Who funds the loan? What is the total I repay? Can I pay it off early? Ask for the answers in writing, compare them with another offer and take your time. Our lender safety guide lists what else to check.
After you are approved
You will get an email notice. Open the contract, read it fully, and sign it electronically if the terms work for you. After signing, the funds are sent to your bank account by direct deposit. Your first payment and the schedule that follows are listed in the agreement.
Keep an eye on your account balance before each due date, since payments are withdrawn automatically. If you plan to pay early, go ahead. No extra fee applies.

I cannot say enough good things about Loan Ridge! From my experience, they have been absolutely wonderful to work with. They are super sweet, understanding, professional, and genuinely willing to work with you. It is such a relief to deal with a company that treats you like a person instead of just another account number.
One of the things I appreciate most about Loan Ridge is how easy and convenient they make everything. If I ever need to skip a payment or have a question about my account, I can simply send them an email. They are very accommodating and make the process so easy without having to spend time sitting on the phone or dealing with a complicated process. Being able to handle everything through email is a huge plus for me!
I also appreciate that after making several on-time payments, I can reach out to ask about borrowing a little more money. They are easy to communicate with, and I love being able to email them and discuss my needs. Having a company that is willing to listen, communicate, and work with its customers makes such a difference.
Life happens, and sometimes unexpected expenses come up. It means a lot to have a company that understands that things are not always perfect and is willing to work with you when you need a little flexibility. I truly appreciate the kindness and consideration they have shown me.
Customer service can make or break a business, and Loan Ridge has made my experience a positive one. They are friendly, responsive, helpful, and easy to work with. I never feel like I am being treated poorly for asking a question or explaining my situation. That kind of customer service is hard to find these days!
If you are looking for a loan company that is easy to communicate with and has a team that treats you with kindness and respect, I would definitely recommend giving Loan Ridge a look. I am grateful for how they have worked with me, and I hope they continue providing the same wonderful customer service to others.
Thank you, Loan Ridge, for being so sweet, understanding, and accommodating. You have definitely earned my five-star review!

Loan amounts up to $2,000. Rates, fees and terms vary by lender and by state, and are disclosed to you in writing before you accept any loan. Loan Ridge does not guarantee approval. Loan Ridge lends only to residents of Texas, Missouri and Utah.
The use of loan services should be used for short-term financial needs only and not as a long-term financial solution. Customers with credit difficulties should seek credit counseling before entering into any loan transaction.
Subject to credit approval and verification. Actual approved loan amount and terms are dependent on standard underwriting guidelines and credit policies. Funds are typically deposited for delivery for the next business day. Availability of the funds is dependent on how quickly your bank processes the transaction.
Loan Ridge may use credit report information provided as part of the application process to determine your creditworthiness. Neither credit inquiry will appear as a hard credit inquiry on your credit report and therefore they will not affect your FICO score.
Loan Ridge reports customer payment history to the three major credit bureaus. On-time payments may improve credit score.
