How does the HelloRates Partner Program work?
          +
        
        
          
            The HelloRates Partner Program is quick and easy for both your business and your customers/patients. After
            you complete the online enrollment form, you will receive a simple set of instructions with the steps to set
            up your custom Co-Branded Portal (2 minutes). This custom loan portal allows you to offer financing to your
            customers by providing access to our AI powered loan engine portal.
          
          
            The platform is optimized to show only the best rates, terms and payment for each customer’s unique credit
            scenario and utilizes the proprietary technology to match them with the best lending options from our
            networks of 70+ top lenders.
          
          
            Our AI-powered loan technology finds the best options based on each customer's unique situation, ensuring
            the highest chance of approval. When results are presented, customers can follow the easy prompts to submit
            their information on the provided secure custom co branded loan portal page.
          
          
            The entire process takes only 60 seconds to apply and see their best loan offers and they can confidently
            submit their application knowing that there will only be a soft credit pull which will not harm their credit
            score. The entire process is fast, easy and intuitive and requires no hand holding or extra work from the
            dealer partner.
          
         
        
          Do I need to speak with a HelloRates program expert before signing up?
          +
        
        
          No, it's not necessary unless you have a unique question that isn't covered elsewhere.
          In fact, most of our partners simply sign up, get started, and are up and running in less than 5 minutes.
            This ease of use is one of the aspects our partners rave about most often.
          We've designed the program to be so straightforward and frictionless that 98% of our new partners
            self-enroll without needing any assistance from our team. 
          You can feel confident in the simplicity and efficiency of our process. Of course, should you need any help
            or support along the way, we're always here to assist you.
          Get started now
         
        
          Why doesn't HelloRates have any sales reps or a sales team?
          +
        
        
          
            One thing you will notice that sets HelloRates apart from other financing company providers is that we do
            not have a sales team. We only have program experts & partner support.
            Why? Because the program only takes 5 minutes to get set up to begin using and we do not believe in high
            pressure selling, onerous training & onboarding or any other traditional approaches that takes you away
            from your core business or wastes your precious time. Our program is designed to be additive to your
            business, and therefore needs no extra time, training or resources from your staff.
          We take pride in being transparent with our pricing, and in providing a
            measurable outsized ROI for our partners.
            We see on a daily basis that the value & features that we have packed into the program, makes the
            program such a no-brainer that it literally sells itself.
          
         
        
          How does my customer get started with HelloRates?
          +
        
        
          Simply send your customer your Financing Portal Link via your website, email, text, or even a QR code on
            printed material for easy access. They can complete the online application in seconds and will be matched
            with the best options based on their current situation.
         
        
          What products and services does HelloRates finance?
          +
        
        
          HelloRates provides financing for any product or service without any restrictions.
         
        
          What types of businesses can benefit from HelloRates’ full spectrum customer financing?
          +
        
        
          Businesses without a financing program will find HelloRates to be an excellent solution, as it opens the
            door to increased sales and profits. For businesses with existing financing programs that have credit
            limitations, HelloRates serves as a perfect add-on by providing a second chance option for customers whose
            credit applications have been declined by other lenders.
         
        
          Do we have to switch from our current financing company?
          +
        
        
          No, you don't need to switch from your current financing company. Many businesses initially use our program
            as a second chance when customers are declined by their primary lender. Over time, they often realize
            HelloRates can handle all their financing needs.
          
          We offer options for credit scores as low as 500, and because we don't charge per-loan fees, you can save
            on the heavy fees typically charged by other companies.
          
          Our flat-rate pricing makes it easy to see the ROI, whether you use us as a comprehensive full spectrum
            financing solution or as a complementary second chance program alongside your current financing provider.
          
         
        
          Does HelloRates offer a satisfaction guarantee?
          +
        
        
          Our Simple No Hassle Guarantee & Our Promise To You

            successes that over 10,000 other businesses are seeing with the program.
          
          
          We put our money where our mouth is and 100% guarantee that if you actively and in good faith use the
            program,* your businesses or practice will see positive results and ROI. If your business does not receive
            any loan application pre-approvals within the first 45 days of starting the program, you can request a 100%
            full refund of the monthly or annual fees charged. After 45 days, no refunds can be processed.
          *To ensure that the program has a reasonable chance to prove its value to your business, we require that
              a minimum of 5 unique loans applications be submitted on your co branded loan portal within the 45 Day
              Guarantee period.
          Important: Due to the upfront technical cost of the multi lender platform activations as well as the custom
            co branded marketing materials we provide, the one time $149 multi lender platform activation & set up
            fee is non refundable.
          Terms and Conditions
          Loan Application Pre-Approvals: If you successfully submit a minimum of 5 unique loan applications within
            the first 45 days of program enrollment and receive zero loan application pre-approvals, your business will
            be eligible for a refund.

            market.

          What other fees will we be charged?
          +
        
        
          HelloRates never charges per-loan fees, discount fees, or hidden fees to dealer partners.
         
        
          Is there a minimum loan volume or submission minimum?
          +
        
        
          There are no minimum volume requirements. Your account will not be shut off for inactivity or low loan
            volume.
         
        
          What paperwork should dealer partners expect?
          +
        
        
          No paperwork is required from our dealer partners. Unlike other financing programs we won’t request your
            business financials, customer contracts, completion certificates or any other paperwork.
         
        
          What paperwork should the customers & patients expect?
          +
        
        
          Loan applicants typically only need to prove their identity with a government issued ID and their banking
            information so that they can receive their funds via direct deposit. Approved customers will follow simple
            steps to finalize their loan approval and receive funds directly in their account to pay you by cash or
            check.
         
        
          Who receives the loan proceeds?
          +
        
        
          Approved customers receive funds directly in their account and can pay you by cash or check.
         
        
          How do we ensure that we get paid by the customer?
          +
        
        
          We understand that some businesses and practices raise a concern that the customer may get their loan
            proceeds and book a vacation or spend their funds elsewhere. We solve this concern by including language in
            our terms and conditions that the applicant must agree to before seeing their loan approval options. This
            explicitly states that the applicant must use the loan proceeds for the product and services of your company
            only. This language legally binds them to how they can use the loan proceeds.
         
       
      
        
          What is an unsecured loan?
          +
        
        
          An unsecured loan, or personal loan, is based solely on the borrower’s creditworthiness and does not
            require collateral. It can be used for various purposes such as home improvements, debt consolidation,
            travel, and medical expenses.
         
        
          What is a secured loan?
          +
        
        
          A secured loan is backed by a valuable asset, such as a car or home, used as collateral. If you default,
            the lender can repossess the asset.
         
        
          What is the difference between a prime loan and a subprime loan?
          +
        
        
          Prime credit loans are typically reserved for credit and loan profiles that have solid income, credit
            history and scores above 650 FICO. Subprime credit loans typically have income or credit history that is
            atypical and riskier with credit scores that fall below 650 FICO scores.
         
        
          What is a 0% APR Promotional Card?
          +
        
        
          Our 0% APR promotional card program is perfect for those customers with credit above 650 and who want to
            finance their purchase using an interest free option, low payment and often includes other card based perks
            for miles, points, travel and cashback. These programs are in partnership with the major card issuers and
            have additional nuances due to the approval and funding process being tied to the customer's receipt of the
            card before they can use it.
          
         
       
      
        
          What are HelloRates credit requirements?
          +
        
        
          HelloRates accepts credit scores ranging from 500 to 850.
         
        
          Does HelloRates have lending partners who work with less-than-perfect credit?
          +
        
        
          Yes, HelloRates partners with lenders that cater to all credit types, from poor to excellent.
         
        
          Does HelloRates or any of its lending partners pull a credit report?
          +
        
        
          HelloRates does not pull credit or make credit decisions. Our partner lenders typically perform a soft
            credit check that does not affect your score. Some credit card providers may conduct a hard credit check for
            their final underwriting decision.
         
        
          What is the difference between a hard credit inquiry and a soft inquiry?
          +
        
        
          A soft credit inquiry occurs when you, a credit card company, or a lender checks your credit for
            pre-approval. It does not appear on your credit report or affect your credit scores. A hard credit inquiry
            occurs when you apply to a bank or lender. It appears on your credit report for 24 months and impacts your
            credit score for the first 12 months. HelloRates Loan programs are all soft inquiry programs and our 0% APR
            card programs require a hard inquiry to generate an approval.
         
        
          Does HelloRates charge any fees to the consumer?
          +
        
        
          HelloRates never charges consumers any loan fees. Once matched with a lending partner, the applicant will
            get the full loan terms and details of their specific loan approval.
