FAQ — How to apply

How long does the CrediWise decision take? About 15 minutes once statements and personal details are complete.

Do I need to upload statements manually? Not always — instant bank-feed verification (TruID-style) can replace manual upload.

What if I'm declined? Wait for real change in circumstances — repeated quick re-applications rarely work.
