At least 18 years old

Or 21 in states like Alabama and Nebraska.

Valid SSN or ITIN

Required for identity verification and federal compliance.

Active checking account

Open at least 90 days with regular deposits — savings-only doesn't qualify.

US resident

All 50 states and Puerto Rico. Residential address required (no PO boxes).

Common Concerns

Eligibility FAQ

Can I qualify with no credit history?

Yes. Progressive Leasing does not require a traditional FICO credit score. First-time credit users are welcome as long as you meet the other requirements (income, banking, age, ID, US residency).

What if I've had a recent bankruptcy?

Bankruptcies within the last 6 months may lead to a decline. Older bankruptcies generally do not disqualify you if your current income and banking are stable.

Can I use a prepaid card or savings account?

No. You need an active US checking account open at least 90 days with regular deposits. Prepaid cards, savings-only accounts, and business accounts don't qualify.

What's the minimum income?

There's no specific dollar minimum, but your income must comfortably cover the payment schedule. Progressive Leasing evaluates your income-to-payment ratio during underwriting.

Why was I declined even though I meet the requirements?

Common reasons include recent bank overdrafts, very new checking account (under 90 days), income that doesn't cover payments, or existing outstanding Progressive Leasing agreements. You can typically reapply after 30 days.

Can non-citizens qualify?

Yes — you don't need to be a US citizen, but you must be a legal US resident with an SSN or ITIN, US residential address, and US phone number.
