Personal Loans in Indiana
SET Financial is a free matching service that connects Indiana residents with third-party lenders who make all credit decisions and set all rates and terms.
Get StartedSET Financial is a lead-connection service for new loan requests, not the lender. Not everyone who applies will be matched or approved.
Connecting Indiana Residents with Lenders
SET Financial is not a lender in Indiana. We are a connection service that matches Indiana residents with third-party lenders in our network, and those lenders make every credit decision and set all rates and terms. People with bad credit or thin or limited credit history are welcome to submit a request, though a match and approval are never guaranteed.
An installment loan is money you borrow as a single lump sum and repay over time in fixed, scheduled payments that usually cover both principal and interest. Because the payment amount and payoff date are set up front, many people find installment loans easier to budget than open-ended credit. Indiana residents commonly use them for car repairs, medical or dental bills, home and appliance fixes, moving costs, debt consolidation, and other unexpected expenses.

Who the Network Works With in Indiana
Bad credit
A low credit score does not automatically disqualify you. Some lenders in our network review income and ability to repay alongside your score, though approval and terms are always the lender's decision, not SET Financial's.
Thin or no credit
If you have little or no credit history, you can still submit a request. Certain lenders weigh factors beyond a traditional credit file, but a match is never guaranteed and each lender sets its own criteria.
Self-employed or 1099 income
Self-employed and contract workers can apply. Be ready to document income with bank statements, tax records, or invoices, since lenders decide what proof they require and whether to approve.
Fixed income
Borrowers on Social Security, disability, retirement, or other fixed income may qualify with some lenders. The lender evaluates whether your income supports the payments and sets any rate and terms.
Indiana Rates and Your Protections
Consumer lending in Indiana is governed by the Indiana Uniform Consumer Credit Code (IUCCC) and overseen by the Consumer Credit Division of the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions. Lenders who make consumer loans in Indiana and are not exempt supervised financial organizations must hold the appropriate license, generally applied for through the Nationwide Multistate Licensing System (NMLS). The IUCCC sets the finance charges a licensed lender may impose, and Indiana's separate criminal loansharking statute makes charging interest above 72% a felony. SET Financial does not set rates. The lender you are matched with discloses your actual APR, fees, and terms before you sign.
You can confirm a lender is licensed by checking the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions or the NMLS Consumer Access database, and you should always review the APR, fees, and total cost stated in your loan agreement before signing.
Regulator: Indiana Department of Financial Institutions (DFI), Consumer Credit Division.
