No-credit-check wording needs a careful explanation. A soft inquiry, a hard inquiry and a decision based on other information are different processes. Ask what the provider actually checks and when. This wording does not establish that an offer is affordable or that approval is guaranteed. Review the provider, repayment schedule, charges and any required security before sharing an application.
