From $200 to $5,000 for dental, auto, vet, and eye care. Checking your options takes seconds and won't touch your credit score.
Sunbit was built for the moment you're already at the counter — the whole thing happens in person, in about a minute.
Tell the front desk at your dental office, auto shop, vet, or eye care center that you'd like to pay over time.
Scan the barcode on the back of your driver's license. No long forms and no paperwork.
A soft credit check runs in the background and your plan options appear in about 30 seconds.
Choose the monthly payment that fits, sign on the tablet, and walk out with the care you came for.
Originally built for auto service and now widely used across health and everyday-essential providers in most US states.
AI underwriting looks beyond your FICO score, so thin or imperfect credit files are frequently approved.
A soft credit check shows your options with zero impact on your score. Nothing to lose by looking.
No application fees, no late fees, and no prepayment penalty. Pay early and you cut the interest you owe.
Terms from 3 to 72 months let you size the monthly payment to what actually works for you.
A quick look at what you're actually signing up for.
Sunbit is designed to approve a wide range of people, including those with fair or limited credit. There's no published minimum credit score — its AI underwriting weighs income and other signals alongside credit, and checking uses a soft pull that never affects your score.
Just a few basics to apply at the counter.
A US driver's license or state ID — the barcode is scanned to start your application.
You must be of legal age and a resident of a US state where Sunbit operates.
A valid payment method to set up your repayment plan when you accept an offer.
A phone number to receive your application link and verify your identity.
Approval is not guaranteed and depends on creditworthiness, identity verification, your state of residence, and other factors. Requirements may vary by provider and lender.
Move the sliders to see a rough monthly figure for any amount between $200 and $5,000. It's an estimate to help you plan — your real offer, including your actual APR, is shown at the counter.
Estimate only. Your actual APR (0%–35.99%), term, and payment depend on your approval, the provider, and your state. Not an offer of credit.

I was sure I'd get declined, but the soft credit check didn't hurt my score and I was approved in about 30 seconds for my dental crown. The monthly payment fit my budget perfectly.
My transmission went out and I couldn't pay $2,300 upfront. The shop offered Sunbit, I applied on my phone, and drove home the same day. No hidden fees and the whole process was honestly so easy.
I was skeptical and looked up reviews before applying. Used it for my dog's emergency surgery at the vet. Real company, transparent terms, and zero late fees. Highly recommend if you need to pay over time.
CareCredit declined me, but Sunbit approved me the same afternoon for new glasses and an eye exam. No deferred interest surprises like the credit card. Wish I'd known about this sooner.
What I love is that checking my options didn't affect my credit at all. The application was fast, the payments are predictable, and there was no paperwork to fill out. Exactly what I needed for unexpected dental work.
Financed $1,800 in dental work over 12 months. The monthly payment was clear from the start and there were no late fees when I paid a few days late once. Paid it off early with no penalty too. Great experience overall.
Reviews reflect individual customer experiences; outcomes, approval, and terms vary by applicant, provider, and state.
An honest look at where Sunbit shines and where it falls short, so you know what you're signing up for.
~90% approval rate — among the highest in the category, thanks to AI underwriting that looks past your FICO score.
Soft credit check only — checking your options never affects your credit score.
No hidden fees — zero application fees, zero late fees, and no prepayment penalty.
No deferred-interest trap — fixed installments, unlike a promo credit card that bills interest retroactively.
Decision in ~30 seconds — apply right at the counter by scanning your ID, no paperwork.
APR can reach 35.99% — lower-credit applicants may be offered a high rate, so check the monthly cost before signing.
Lower loan ceiling — best for everyday bills; large cases like full-mouth work may exceed its limit.
In-person only — you apply at a participating provider, not online ahead of time.
Not a reusable line — it's a one-time loan per purchase, so future bills need a new application.
Availability varies — only offered where a provider has partnered with Sunbit, and terms differ by state.

Sunbit doesn't publish a minimum credit score. Its AI underwriting weighs income signals and other factors alongside credit, which is why roughly 90% of applicants receive an offer. People with scores around 500 and up are frequently approved, though the amount and terms vary.
No. The initial application uses a soft credit check, which has no effect on your credit score. If you accept a loan, your payment activity may later be reported to a credit bureau — so on-time payments can help your history over time.
Most everyday purchases fall between $200 and $5,000. Repayment terms range from 3 to 72 months, so you can choose a monthly payment that fits your budget. Your approved amount depends on the provider and your individual offer.
It's accepted in person at participating dental offices, auto repair shops and dealerships, veterinary clinics, and eye care centers across most US states. You apply at the point of service rather than online ahead of time — so ask your provider whether they offer it.
There are no application fees, no late fees, and no prepayment penalties. The only cost is interest (APR) on non-promotional plans, ranging from 0% to 35.99% depending on your approval. Paying off early reduces the total interest you owe.
Yes — Sunbit, Inc. is a venture-backed fintech founded in 2016 and headquartered in Los Angeles. Loans are issued through regulated lending partners such as TAB Bank. This website is an independent guide and is not operated by Sunbit, Inc.
