The problem
Traditional lenders primarily use credit scores to assess eligibility for cash or credit, which can exclude individuals with limited or poor credit history. This limits access to financial products for those who may otherwise demonstrate financial responsibility through other behaviors.

The product approach
Tilt provides cash advances (up to $500), lines of credit (up to $1,000), and credit cards by evaluating applicants using 250+ financial health signals instead of just credit scores. This approach aims to approve 3 in 4 applicants for cash or credit on the same day.

What stands out
Unlike traditional lenders, Tilt does not require a credit check for its cash advance product and claims to assess eligibility using alternative financial data. It also offers pre-qualification with no impact on credit scores and considers users for credit limit increases as early as four months after approval.

The question to watch
The effectiveness of Tilt’s 250+ financial health signals in accurately assessing creditworthiness compared to traditional credit scoring methods remains unproven. Additionally, the long-term impact of its flexible repayment options on users’ financial health and credit building is unclear.
