Can I get a Pawn Loan with bad credit?
Pawn Loans Are a Good Option if You Have Bad Credit
Pawn Loans stand out as a particularly accessible financial solution for those with bad credit, characterised by several key features:
No Credit Check Required: Pawn Loans do not involve credit checks, making them perfect for those who have bad credit or are concerned about credit inquiries affecting their credit score.
Collateral-Based System: The basis of a pawn loan is the collateral you provide, which determines the loan amount based on the item's value, not your credit score or financial history.
No Impact on Credit Score: Defaulting on a pawn loan won't harm your credit score either, as the failure to repay results in Superloans auctioning the collateral with no report to credit bureaus.

What is Superscore?
Understanding Superscore: Your Key to Smarter Borrowing with Superloans
Superscore rewards our customers when they make scheduled payments on their Express loan or redeem a Pawn Loan. These actions earn you points in our Superscore program. As you continue to accumulate points, your Superscore increases. The higher your Superscore, the more advantages you can enjoy:
Access to Larger Loans: With a higher Superscore, you'll have access to larger loan amounts. This means you can borrow more money when you need it.
Lower Interest Rates: We reward your loyalty and responsible borrowing by offering lower interest rates as your Superscore grows. This means you'll pay less in interest over the life of your loans.
Improved Credit Score: Superscore also contributes to improving your credit score beyond our services. We provide comprehensive credit reporting, which means your positive financial behaviour with us can enhance your credit history and profile in the wider credit industry.
What are the Superscore points worth?
Superscore is a straightforward and rewarding system for our customers: each Superscore point you earn holds a tangible value of $1. This means that your Superscore directly correlates with your available credit limit.
Here's a breakdown to illustrate how it works:
Superscore Points: Every time you make a payment on your Express loan or engage with a Pawn Loan by redeeming or extending it, you earn Superscore points.
Superscore Value: Each Superscore point you accumulate is equivalent to $1 added to your credit limit.
For example, if you've accrued 1000 Superscore points, it translates to a credit limit of $1000 that you can access.

How many Superscore points do I receive?
Understanding Superscore Points for Express and Pawn Loans
When it comes to Superscore points for Express and Pawn Loans, there are essential factors to consider:
Express Loan Superscore Points:
1. Pay Frequency: The number of Superscore points earned with each successful Express Loan payment is tied to how often you receive your salary or income
2. Loan Status: Your loan's status is critical. If your loan is not in arrears (meaning you're up to date with payments), you can earn the full Superscore points for your payments. However, a different rule applies if your loan falls into arrears (you've missed one or more payments).
Pawn Loan Superscore Points:
For Pawn Loans, Superscore points are determined by redeeming the pawned item:
