💚 Why We Have the Highest Approval Rate in St. Louis
✅ We Offer 4 Different Financing Programs
Most furniture stores offer 1-2 financing options. We offer 4 different programs, so if one denies you, we try another. This is why we approve 90% of applications.
Our 4 Financing Programs:
- Progressive Leasing: No credit check, 95% approval (income-based)
- Snap Finance: Bank account-based, 80% approval (soft credit pull)
- Acima: No credit check, 90% approval (similar to Progressive)
- Synchrony 0%: Traditional credit, 60% approval (for good credit 620+)
How It Works: You apply once. We submit to all 4 lenders. At least one approves you (90% of the time).
📊 Lender Comparison (Honest Pros & Cons)
| Lender | Credit Check? | Approval Rate | Best For | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Progressive Leasing | ❌ None | 95% | Bad credit, no credit | Highest approval, 90-day same-as-cash | Doesn't build credit |
| Snap Finance | ⚠️ Soft pull | 80% | Bad credit, want to build credit | Builds credit, 100-day payoff | Requires 90-day bank account |
| Acima | ❌ None | 90% | Bad credit, no credit | High approval, flexible | Slightly higher cost than Progressive |
| Synchrony 0% | ✅ Hard pull | 60% | Good credit (620+) | 0% APR, builds credit | Requires good credit |
Our Recommendation: If you have bad credit (under 600), start with Progressive Leasing (95% approval, no credit check). If you want to build credit, try Snap Finance (reports to credit bureaus).
🔒 Soft Pull Guarantee (Checking Won't Hurt Your Score)
✅ Pre-Qualification with NO Hard Pull
What's a Soft Pull? A soft credit check that doesn't affect your credit score. We can check your approval odds without hurting your score.
How It Works:
- Call 314-664-8233 and ask for soft pull pre-qualification
- We check Progressive, Snap, and Acima (all soft pulls)
- We tell you approval probability (e.g., "95% chance with Progressive")
- You decide if you want to proceed (no obligation)
Guarantee: Soft pulls do NOT hurt your credit score. Only Synchrony does a hard pull (and only if you choose to apply).
📈 Credit Building Guide (Rebuild Your Score)
How Furniture Financing Builds Credit
Which Lenders Report to Credit Bureaus?
- Snap Finance: ✅ Reports to all 3 bureaus (Experian, Equifax, TransUnion)
- Synchrony: ✅ Reports to all 3 bureaus
- Progressive Leasing: ❌ Does NOT report
- Acima: ❌ Does NOT report
Credit Score Improvement Projection:
- Month 1-3: New tradeline added (+10-20 points)
- Month 4-6: On-time payment history (+20-30 points)
- Month 7-12: Positive payment history (+30-50 points)
- Total Improvement: 60-100 point increase over 12 months (with on-time payments)
Example: Start with 520 credit score. Make 12 on-time payments with Snap Finance. End with 580-620 credit score.
❌ What to Do If Denied (Alternative Options)
If All 4 Lenders Deny You (Rare, but Possible)
Alternative Financing Options:
- Layaway: 20% down, 90 days to pay, no interest, no credit check
- $1 Down Program: Pay $1 today, rest over 12 months (special program)
- Cash Discount: Pay cash and get 5% discount (save money, no credit needed)
- Co-Signer: Bring someone with good credit to co-sign (increases approval odds)
Why Denial Happens: Usually due to recent bankruptcy (less than 1 year old), no income, or too many NSF fees on bank account.
⚠️ Avoid Rent-to-Own (Predatory Warning)
Rent-to-Own vs. Legitimate Financing (Know the Difference)
Rent-to-Own (Aaron's, Rent-A-Center):
- ❌ You pay 2-3x the retail price (e.g., $1,000 sofa costs $2,500 total)
- ❌ Weekly payments (expensive, hard to budget)
- ❌ They can repossess furniture if you miss one payment
- ❌ Doesn't build credit (doesn't report to bureaus)
Legitimate Financing (Progressive, Snap, Acima):
- ✅ You pay retail price + small fee (e.g., $1,000 sofa costs $1,100-$1,200 total)
- ✅ Monthly or bi-weekly payments (easier to budget)
- ✅ You own furniture after final payment (can't be repossessed if you're making payments)
- ✅ Some build credit (Snap reports to bureaus)
Warning: Avoid rent-to-own stores. They're predatory. Use legitimate financing instead.

❓ Bad Credit Furniture Financing FAQs
What credit score do I need to get approved?
No minimum credit score required! We approve customers with scores as low as 300. We offer no-credit-check financing (Progressive, Acima) that approves 90-95% of applications based on income, not credit score.
Will checking my approval hurt my credit score?
No! We offer soft pull pre-qualification that does NOT hurt your credit score. Only Synchrony does a hard pull (and only if you choose to apply). Progressive, Snap, and Acima use soft pulls.
Can I get approved with bankruptcy?
Yes! We approve customers with recent bankruptcy (1+ year old). Progressive Leasing and Acima don't check credit, so bankruptcy doesn't matter. Snap Finance may approve if bankruptcy is 2+ years old.
Which lender builds credit?
Snap Finance and Synchrony report to all 3 credit bureaus (Experian, Equifax, TransUnion). On-time payments improve your credit score. Progressive and Acima do NOT report to bureaus.
What if I get denied by all lenders?
We offer alternative options: Layaway (20% down, 90 days to pay, no credit check), $1 Down Program, cash discount (5% off), or co-signer option. We help everyone get furniture.
How long does approval take?
5-15 minutes. We submit your application to all 4 lenders simultaneously. At least one approves you (90% of the time). You get instant approval and can take furniture home same day.
Is this rent-to-own?
No! We offer legitimate financing (Progressive, Snap, Acima, Synchrony), NOT rent-to-own. You pay retail price + small fee (not 2-3x like Aaron's/Rent-A-Center). You own furniture after final payment.
