# Is Nomad’s Application a Hard or Soft Check on Credit?

When you apply with Nomad, we conduct a soft inquiry on your credit through Equifax. This type of credit check does not impact your credit score, allowing you to inquire about potential rentals without concern. This soft check is part of our commitment to making the rental process as straightforward and non-intrusive as possible.
