FAQs
The Tally app is free to download. To get the benefits of a Tally line of credit, you’ll need to qualify for and accept a Tally credit line. Depending on your credit history, your APR (which is the same as your interest rate) will be between 7.90% - 29.99% per year. And similar to credit card APRs, it will vary with the market based on the Prime Rate. (This information is accurate as of June 1, 2022.)
The credit check we perform to determine your eligibility has no impact on your credit score. In fact, we’ve heard from many members with a credit line that using Tally actually helped them improve their credit score factors overall. If you choose to activate your line of credit, we may report it to the credit bureaus. Once reported, your Tally account will be classified as a line of credit and not as a highly utilized credit card. If your Tally account becomes delinquent, our team is required to report the past due amount and its severity to the credit bureaus.
For steeper discounts and access to a larger credit line, you can choose Tally+ membership. Each month you pay your minimum on time, you get money back. This effectively lowers your interest rate by an average of 4%.
We created Tally+ to help members get access to a larger credit line and a discount program that effectively lowers your APR. This maximizes your interest savings capacity. Once you’re a member, you’ll always be able to see your effective APR after our discounts, right on your ‘Accounts’ tab.
