The Important Difference Between 'Hard' and 'Soft' Credit Inquiries

Pre-approval forms like our short finance application are what are known as 'soft' inquiries. It simply determines if you're pre-qualified. Credit card companies do this before sending you "pre-qualified" offers, often without your permission, which is why you see those offers in the mail, even if you didn't request them. These inquiries don't show up on your credit score.

"Hard" inquiries are the kind that do affect your score. These include apartment rental, mortgage, and credit card applications. Anytime you request funds from a bank or other lending institution, your credit score will be affected.
