If approved during lender business hours, funds may be sent the same day via Interac e-Transfer. Funding speed depends on the lender's processing times, your bank, and identity verification requirements. CashWaves does not control or guarantee specific funding timelines.
Some lenders may conduct soft or hard credit checks as part of their assessment process. Policies vary significantly between lenders. A soft check typically does not affect your credit score, while a hard check may. Check with your specific lender about their credit check policy before applying.
No. Approval is never guaranteed. All loan decisions are made exclusively by individual lenders based on their own criteria, including income verification, banking history, credit profile, and provincial rules. CashWaves does not approve loans or influence lender decisions.
