Kabbage provides close to immediate credit lines to cover any type of expense. Once approved, you are notified of how much credit you have and which of their three loan terms you qualify for. You will have access to funds and can draw on the approved amount anytime you need extra cash for your business.
Loan application with a bank or credit union is time-consuming. Kabbage, on the other hand, has only a few requirements for business owners seeking funding:
Kabbage asks for the following basic information during the application process:
You’ll also be asked to create login credentials and to connect your bank account. Kabbage provides the opportunity to connect additional business accounts, such as QuickBooks, eBay, Amazon, PayPal, and Stripe. Linking multiple services gives Kabbage a better picture of your current financial status.
Unlike most traditional lenders, Kabbage considers multiple factors when determining whether or not to extend a line of credit. In addition to your credit score, the lender looks at:
Kabbage will verify your business account information and perform a hard credit check to determine your credit score.
The same process may increase your credit line as your business grows. To qualify for a Kabbage loan and maintain an active profile, all information you submit must be accurate to the best of your knowledge. Kabbage requires users to maintain the accuracy of their information and reserves the right to close accounts otherwise.
Kabbage offers 6-month, 12-month, and 18-month loan terms. The total monthly fees incurred over the loan term range from 2-9% for 6-month loans, 7.5-18% for 12-month loans, 15.75-27% for 18-month loans, and are subject to change for future loans drawn under the available line of credit. Loans incur a loan fee for each month you have an outstanding balance. Not all customers will be eligible for the lowest fee.
If your checking account is online, you can make a mobile deposit of eligible checks through the Kabbage mobile app, transfer money from another bank, or make cash deposits at one of thousands of in-network ATMs nationwide.
Kabbage is certified for customer privacy. Your login information is never shared, and the company does not sell customer data to third parties. Kabbage is backed by American Express, and offers the privacy policy of American Express Kabbage Inc. on their website.

Kabbage, an American Express Company, is a useful lending option for the modern small business. The automated review and approval process simplifies the loan application process giving you time to focus on running your company. The requirements are straightforward, and Kabbage considers factors other than your credit score when determining whether your business qualifies. The terms and fee structure are easy to understand, and there are no hidden fees. All loans are structured as credit lines. That way, you can withdraw money as needed, and you only have payments if you have an outstanding balance.
Multiple withdrawal methods and an automatic payment system make Kabbage preferable for on-the-go business owners. You have access to cash wherever and whenever you need it so that your business can continue to operate uninterrupted if cash flow slows.
In addition, for a limited time only, you may be eligible to earn $250.
