How banks work with preliminary applications
Often, a bank can approve a loan for a person even before an application has been submitted. Or approve it before the borrower brings the full package of documents. How is this possible, and what can a person expect in this case.
The core principles by which a bank issues a preliminary loan approval are based on calculating the probability of repayment. If the client fits the model of a solvent and responsible borrower, they may be pre-approved for a certain amount. The bank calculates the profile of the ideal credit department client based on the following criteria:
- Socio-demographic. The probability of loan repayment is assessed depending on how the future client lives. If the bank believes that the probability of successful repayment is higher if the client is older, older generations will receive preliminary approvals more often.
- Income. This is most relevant if the person receives their salary at the bank. If the balance of income and expenses suits the bank, the person receives preliminary approval.
- Credit history. A request for it is sent already after applying for a loan, so this factor comes into play later. But if the client's credit history is good, the chance of approval increases.
How the bank will notify you of the decision on an online application
Online applications have spread quickly among borrowers, as this is a very convenient way to evaluate a credit offer and submit documents without visiting a bank branch. All negotiations are conducted by phone, and it is not always clear to the client how to track the progress of the application.
As a rule, a bank manager calls the client after 2 days. But if this has not happened, you can always check the status of your application directly on the website. It is enough to enter the number issued during the initial filling of the online application form into a special field.

How to find out the loan decision after submitting an application directly
If you brought the package of documents to the office yourself, the most obvious option would be to visit the same office with a question about the fate of the loan application. The manager will ask for your passport and give you an exact answer on what stage the application is at.
However, the client can successfully find this out without visiting a branch. To do this, when applying, you should find out your application number, after which you can use it to check the review status both by phone and on the website.
Remember that online and via the hotline you can only receive preliminary approval. Final approval will become available only after the borrower's documents reach the bank.
Is it possible to find out whether the bank approved the loan or not
Unfortunately, without the help of the banking organization's employees, it is impossible to find out the status of the application. Only preliminary approvals are processed through the website; for final approval, you should wait for a call from the manager.
Of course, you can always show up at the office in person, but this is not always possible. In this case, the call center can also help, but through it you will also find out only about preliminary decisions.
What to do if the bank did not respond
If the client has not received a decision from the bank, they can use any of the tracking services:
- Online on the website. Most financial organizations have a website where you can view the progress of your application online.
- Call center, where after passing verification the client receives the necessary data through a support service employee.
- In person at the office. The most costly method, but at the same time the most accurate, as any third-party factors are excluded. This is also the only way to submit documents for the final review of the application, after which funds are disbursed.
Useful tips in case of bank rejection

If the bank rejected the loan, it will not tell you the reasons for its decision. Even if you visit the office and ask the manager a question, they will not be able to say anything specific. Therefore, in this case, follow a few rules, the implementation of which increases the probability of getting approval on the next application:
- Get your credit history data. Try to improve it: banks are more willing to issue new loans to those who have not had problems with old ones.
- Do not submit your next application immediately. You should wait some time, as an immediate application does not allow the client to improve their position as a borrower sufficiently.
- Pay attention to the balance of your income and expenses. If you already have loans, try to reduce their burden on you, as this also affects the banks' willingness to provide new borrowed money.
Q&A
How to speed up the loan application approval process?
This is impossible, as the bank makes a decision in accordance with internal procedures. The client can only improve their chances by increasing their credit rating.
How many loans can one person take?
Legislation does not provide for a limit on either the amount of borrowed money or the number of loans. However, the bank can independently assess the chances of repaying its loan, taking into account your existing debt load.
Can individual entrepreneurs take out loans?
As a rule, banks impose restrictions on lending to individual entrepreneurs. However, there are also offers in which these restrictions are absent. Check with a specific bank whether the status of an individual entrepreneur will prevent loan approval.
What can definitely be the reason for a loan rejection?
Any provision of incorrect personal information. Also, as a rule, banks do not approve loans for minors or people over 65 due to increased risks.
