GLP-1 Financing

Does financing weight loss medication affect your credit?

This is the question that stops people from checking at all, which is a shame, because the check itself is the part that carries no risk to your score.

Soft check versus hard check

A soft credit check looks at your credit file without affecting your score. You can run as many as you like. It is the same category of check used when a lender pre-qualifies you or shows you an estimated rate.

A hard check is recorded on your file and can move your score slightly. It usually happens only when you formally accept credit.

Checking whether you qualify for TeloLife financing uses a soft check. It takes about thirty seconds and does not affect your score.

What happens after approval

Approval tells you the amount and the monthly payment available to you. You are under no obligation to proceed, and an approval that is not used simply expires.

If you do proceed, the financing agreement is with our financing partner. Their terms govern what is reported and when — worth reading, as you would with any credit agreement.

If your credit is not perfect

Approval is not limited to people with excellent credit, and the amounts involved in a treatment package are modest compared with most consumer lending. Since checking costs nothing and does not affect your score, the only way to find out is to check.
