Loan application form
A loan application is the intake before underwriting, so it needs to get basic facts in front of a loan officer. This form collects applicant name, income, the amount requested, and what it is for, leaving the actual approval to a person who reviews credit, income verification, and risk. This form does not run a credit check, verify income, approve a loan, set terms, or guarantee anything. It collects the intake facts; a loan officer does the rest.
The form beside this text is live. Fill it in and submit it — it validates exactly as it would for a real respondent, and saves nothing.
Loan amount is a number field, not text
Loan amount as a number field prevents "$50,000", "50K", and "approx. fifty thousand" from reaching your system—every application has a real number a loan officer can compare against lending limits and risk profiles. A text field forces parsing every entry by hand.
Employment status is a fixed select, not free text
A select field with four employment categories—employed, self-employed, retired, other—sorts applications by income source type without a loan officer reading and categorizing every entry. Free text produces "work at ABC Corp", "I run my own thing", and "semi-retired", which all require interpretation.
No card required.

What goes wrong with this form
Specific to a loan application form, not general advice about forms.
Loan amount as free text, not a number field
Free text produces "$100,000", "around 100k", and "100000" in one column—all different strings that need parsing before comparing against lending limits. A number field stops anything that is not a digit, so a loan officer sees real numbers immediately.
No income field, so you have to call and ask
Without an income number field, a loan officer cannot assess debt-to-income ratio or compare the application against lending thresholds without a phone call. Adding annual income as a number field makes every application self-contained.
No employment status field to sort applications by income type
Without a select field for employment status, every application looks the same regardless of whether income comes from W-2 employment, self-employment income, or retirement. A select field groups applications by income type so a loan officer can process them accordingly.
Questions about this form
How do I create a loan application form?
Add applicant name and contact details. Add annual income and loan amount as number fields so they can be compared without parsing. Add select fields for loan purpose and employment status so applications sort by category. Export to CSV or send by webhook to your loan officers for underwriting.
Does this form approve a loan?
No—it collects the application: who is applying, how much they earn, what they are asking for, and what it is for. A loan officer reviews the application, checks credit and income, and decides whether to approve, deny, or ask for more information.
Does this form check credit?
No—nothing in this form checks credit history, runs a credit bureau query, or makes lending decisions. Those are steps a loan officer takes after reviewing the completed application and income verification.
