Hi Eliza,
Thanks for reaching out to us. Please note that we are not affiliated with any company we feature on our site and so we can only offer you general advice.
While it can be more difficult getting a loan as an 18-year-old, it’s still possible as there are lenders that might accept applicants your age. You can compare loans for 18-year-old to see if you might be able to qualify for any loan options that may be available to you.
Before applying for any loan, please ensure that you meet the eligibility criteria and requirements of the loan option or lender and make sure to read the details, as well as the relevant PDS/ T&Cs of the loan option before making a decision and consider whether the product or option is right for you.
Best regards,
Rench
