Frequently Asked Questions
What is a soft credit check?
A soft credit check (or soft inquiry) is a credit check that does not affect your credit score. Lenders use it to pre-qualify you for offers without impacting your creditworthiness.
Will checking my rate affect my credit score?
No. When you check your rate through 365 Loans, we only perform a soft credit check. This does not impact your credit score at all.
When does a hard credit check happen?
A hard credit check only occurs when you choose to proceed with a specific lender's offer and submit a full loan application.
