The process

How Plucky Money works

Plucky Money is a comparison service, not a lender. Here's exactly what happens, from the moment you open the app to the moment you decide on an offer.

Choosing an amount

Step 1

Tell us what you need

Choose an amount from $50 to $5,000 and answer a short questionnaire: contact details, income and employment basics. The whole thing takes a few minutes.

Step 2

Review and consent

Before anything is sent anywhere, you see a plain-language summary: what data will be shared, with whom and why. Nothing leaves your phone until you explicitly agree.

Nothing is shared without your OK

Reviewing what's shared

Step 3

Lenders review your request

Your request is securely shared with independent lenders in our network. Each lender decides on its own whether to make you an offer.

Lenders reviewing your request

Step 4

Compare your options

If one or more lenders accept your request, you see their offers side by side: amount, APR, repayment term and total cost. If no lender has an offer this time, the app tells you that too.

Step 5

You decide

Accepting an offer is always optional. If you go ahead, you finalize the agreement directly with the lender. If not, you walk away. No fee, no obligation.

Step 6

Repay the lender

Any loan you take is between you and the lender. Payments, due dates and questions about your balance go to the lender. Plucky Money is never part of the repayment.
