Is It Possible to Get a Military Access Loan With No Credit?

Life is unpredictable for everyone. But military families know that the unpredictability can be multiplied exponentially for them -- between PCS moves, new jobs, and new challenges, the only constant is change. While each day can bring something new and exciting, it all typically has one thing in common: It all seems to cost money. Maybe you’ve considered a loan, but what if you have no credit?

In a perfect world, everyone would have an emergency fund to help cover unexpected expenses, but sometimes that’s not an option. But a Military Access Loan could be the right choice for you -- even if you have little to no credit.

Keep reading to learn more about our Military Access Loans and how they can benefit military families.

How to Get a Loan With Little or No Credit

The Armed Forces Bank Military Access Loan* is a type of unsecured personal installment loan. In an unsecured personal installment loan, an amount of money is borrowed and paid back in installments along with interest. You don’t have to borrow against any collateral, such as your home or car.

While many unsecured personal loans are based solely on a credit score, that’s not the case with our Military Access Loan. No matter whether you have less-than-perfect credit history, or even no credit at all, the Military Access Loan could be an option for you.

At Armed Forces Bank, we feel that our military members and families deserve flexibility when they need funds. You can borrow anywhere from $750 up to $15,000 with a short and simple loan application.

We’ll put you in the driver’s seat to pick the offer that works best for you and your situation. Our Military Access Loan is a fixed-term, fixed-payment loan that you can use for any purpose.

If you have a less-than-perfect credit score, or no credit, the best option for you would be to complete the short application. You’ll know in just moments how we can help.
