🔩 Credit Select Plus - Nuts and Bolts
The Credit Select Plus program connects your customers with 30+ lenders through one simple application. This guide explains how the application process, lender decisions, and funding flow work — and how to set the right expectations with your applicants.
đź§ľ The Application and Lenders
Each applicant is evaluated independently by multiple lenders, typically within seconds.
Here’s what to know:
Applicant Basics
-
Every applicant must use a unique email address.
-
Using a cell phone number is strongly recommended — it speeds up communication.
-
A credit lock will prevent lenders from retrieving credit data. Ask applicants to remove any lock before applying.
Application Rules
-
Anyone can submit an application, but only the applicant can accept and execute a loan offer.
-
Each lender may decline or present one or more offers that vary in rate, term, and amount.
-
Applicants can accept or decline any or all offers. There’s no obligation to proceed.
-
Offers are pre-approvals and may require document verification before funding.
Additional Details
-
Multiple individuals can apply separately, even if they’re connected to the same sale.
-
Applicants may be able to accept more than one offer from different lenders.
-
Most lenders require a minimum annual income of $20,000.
-
FICO scores vary by bureau and by scoring model; a score seen on Credit Karma may differ from the one a lender uses.
-
Lenders may approve applicants with scores as low as 500, but lower scores reduce approval odds.
-
Loans are unsecured unless specifically stated otherwise (collateral is typically a vehicle).
-
Most lenders include an origination fee (1–6%), disclosed in the loan agreement and reflected in the APR.
⚙️ The Platform and Process
The Credit Select Plus platform streamlines financing by connecting one application to more than 30 lending partners.
How It Works
-
The system automatically matches each application to 4–7 lenders based on built-in filters and triggers.
-
Lender decisions appear within seconds.
-
Flexxbuy cannot alter or influence lender decisions. Each lender’s system evaluates applications based on credit score, income, and debt load.
-
Flexxbuy cannot contact lenders or act on behalf of applicants.
Credit & Funding
-
Submitting an application only creates a soft credit pull — it does not affect credit scores.
-
Most approved loans fund within 1–3 business days, depending on how quickly the borrower submits required documents (if requested).
-
Loan funds are sent directly to the borrower.
💡 Tip: To minimize drop-off, follow Flexxbuy’s recommended best practices for closing financed sales.
Fees & Billing
-
Lenders may include a 1–6% origination fee for borrowers (disclosed at acceptance).
-
Flexxbuy’s funding fee is based on the funded amount or your invoice amount — whichever is lower.
-
Example: If a loan funds for $10,000 but your invoice is $5,000, Flexxbuy bills based on $5,000.
-
Likewise, if a loan funds for $3,000 but your invoice is $5,000, billing is based on $3,000.
-
-
Flexxbuy operates on an honor system and will use the billable amount you report.
-
Fees are automatically deducted from your payment method about 10 days after funding, or earlier if you report funding received sooner.
-
Notify Flexxbuy of any billing changes or corrections within 5–7 days of funding.
Performance Tip
Approval rates vary by industry and applicant demographics.
Focus on the wins — each approval often represents a sale you might’ve otherwise lost.
