Backed Inc. Loan Summary

Backed was founded in early 2015, with a purpose to make fair-rate loans more accessible to borrowers in the US. Using their Progressive loan application, borrowers are able to improve their rate by adding as much information as they are willing to share.

Getting your application “Backed” by anyone with a credit score above 720 and annual income of $50,000 or higher, can reduce application rates by up to 41%!

Backer and Borrowers are protected by our instant payment notifications and 15 day grace period to prevent any delinquencies by covering only the missing amount.

Payments made with the 15 day grace period will not incur any fees and no reporting will take place on behalf of Backed to the credit bureaus so long as the account is back in good standing within the grace period.
