NetCredit review: rates, fees and who it fits
NetCredit and its partner banks offer personal loans of $1,000 to $10,000 at 34.99% to 99.99% APR, over 6 to 60 months, with no origination, late, prepayment or NSF fees on its personal loans. Its own typical example — $4,500 at 65% APR for 50 months — has payments of $262.53, which adds up to about $13,127. It suits people who cannot get under 36% elsewhere; long terms at these rates get expensive.
Independent review. NetCredit is not a ClearBorrow partner and we earn nothing from it. Facts come from NetCredit’s own published pages, checked November 12, 2026; we did not apply for a loan. Terms differ by state.

Personal loan vs line of credit
NetCredit also offers lines of credit in some states. They do not charge interest; instead you pay a 10% cash advance fee on each draw plus a statement balance fee each billing period (NetCredit ↗). Compare the fees in dollars before choosing the line.
Strengths and weaknesses
| Strengths | Weaknesses |
|---|---|
| Up to $10,000 and up to 60 months | APR up to 99.99% — far above mainstream personal loans |
| No origination, late or prepayment fees | Long terms at a high APR can more than double what you repay |
| Publishes state rates and a typical example | Not available in every state |

Questions
Does NetCredit do a hard credit check?
Its state pages say checking eligibility won’t affect your FICO score; a full application can differ, so read the disclosure when you apply.
Who lends the money?
NetCredit lends directly in some states and through partner banks in others; the lender is named in your agreement.
Can I pay it off early?
Yes. NetCredit says there is no prepayment penalty, and early payments cut interest because the loan uses simple interest.
