How does a payday loan without a verification transfer work?

A refundable verification transfer involves transferring a symbolic amount, such as PLN 0.01 or PLN 1, from the account of the person applying for a payday loan to the account of a non-bank lender. The purpose of the transfer is to confirm that the account number entered in the form belongs to the applicant and that the person on the other side is not a fraudster attempting to take out a loan using someone else's details. Accounts with at least two owners are not accepted—even if they belong to a married couple.

An alternative way to confirm identity is to use an app such as Instantor, Kontomatik, KontoConnect, GroszConnect or a similar service. An individual bank account is also required in this case, but you do not need to order a transfer. You only need to log in to online banking through the app. This is a secure process—the app does not store your login or password. Its purpose is to quickly confirm that the details in the application match the account holder's details. Another advantage is that the lender receives information about incoming funds and transactions. Companies are not interested in exactly what you buy. What matters is the ratio of incoming funds to expenses.

Some non-bank lenders also allow verification by phone or in person—through a courier who brings you the agreement to sign, or through a company representative. However, this is the most time-consuming method, although it is convenient for people who prefer to collect cash at a post office branch.

How do payday loans without debt-register checks work?

First, it should be explained that lending institutions are required to assess customers' creditworthiness. This allows them to reject applications from indebted people who do not repay their financial obligations on time and do not have sufficient funds to repay what may be another loan.

So why are payday loans without BIK, BIG, KRD or ERIF checks available?

Although non-bank lenders do in fact verify customers with regard to debts and income, they use various databases. Thanks to the ranking of payday loans without database checks on Chwilowo.pl, you can find out which non-bank companies cooperate with BIK (the Credit Information Bureau), BIG InfoMonitor, KRD (the National Debt Register) and ERIF BIG S.A.

Examples

  • Lender A may offer payday loans without KRD and ERIF checks, while checking applicants in BIK and BIG InfoMonitor.
  • Lending company B may grant payday loans without BIK checks, while assessing customers' creditworthiness by checking entries in BIG InfoMonitor, KRD and ERIF.
  • There may be many similar combinations, so before submitting an application for a payday loan for people in debt, you can check which databases a given company searches.
  • Non-bank companies also use platforms such as Credit-Check and getScore. If the customer's data is to be transferred to such a system, the loan agreement should contain an appropriate provision.

BIK and business information bureaus may also store positive information about financial obligations, so before submitting an application for a payday loan without debt-register checks, you can work on improving your creditworthiness. To do this, you can contact selected creditors to whom you have paid your obligations on time. Such entries can be treated as references confirming that you can be trusted as a reliable consumer.

Can you get a payday loan without income verification?

This is an individual matter. To better understand the subject, it is worth knowing the difference between a declaration of income and an income certificate.

  • When completing a payday-loan application, you submit a declaration of income. The non-bank company may ask you to specify the source and amount of your income, household expenses, the number of people you support and the amount of your monthly financial obligations. Depending on the source of income, you may be required to provide your employer's details or attach additional documents.
  • Let's assume that you have permanent employment under an employment contract. You can obtain an income certificate from your employer. A non-bank company does not require this document in every case. The form may contain fields for entering company details. If there are doubts, the lender may verify your employment independently.

Non-bank companies accept various sources of income—including remuneration under an employment contract, a contract for specific work, a contract of mandate, a pension, a disability pension, alimony, family benefits, pre-retirement benefits, income from work abroad, unemployment benefits and others. What matters is the amount of income, its regular receipt and the ratio of income to expenses. The lender assesses whether the customer's current income and living costs allow the payday loan to be repaid on time.

Lending institutions use various methods to verify customers' identities and assess their ability to repay a payday loan on time. You can choose a company that verifies applicants through a symbolic transfer and checks BIK, or submit an application to a company that recommends an app for verifying the customer's identity and checks entries not in BIK but in business information bureaus. Both routes rule out a fraudster borrowing money using someone else's details and a person who genuinely cannot afford to repay the payday loan.
