Can you promote in r/borrownew?
/r/BorrowNew is a subreddit aimed at helping Redditors who are temporarily in need of money and will be able to pay it back in a short period. Rest in peace /r/borrows.
The short answer
Do not pitch or link to products; if replying publicly, keep it purely helpful, avoid promotions or referral links, and move to 1:1 only after the user requests contact (and follow rule about not posting personal info).
What works here
- Provide neutral, non‑commercial help or clarification about the loan post
- Answer questions about process/repayment options without promoting a product
- Publicly discuss terms of an arranged loan in a public thread (per lender rules) if relevant
What gets posts removed
- Cold‑messaging lenders or asking lenders to view your post
- Posting referral/KYC/account links, tasks, or affiliate links
- Advertising products/services, soliciting customers, or offering loans for profit
- Requesting up‑front payments, deposits, or directing people off‑site to sign up
Where this comes from
View the current official rules on RedditNo cold messaging lenders
Rule forbids contacting lenders to pitch loans or to ask them to look at your post — direct solicitation is disallowed.
No tasks/KYC/referral links
Tasks, KYC, account purchase and referral links are explicitly prohibited, so promotional links are not allowed.
No spamming / limited posting
Only one loan request per 24 hours and strict posting expectations limit promotional activity.
No prepayments or deposits
Asking for up‑front payments is prohibited, which rules out many commercial arrangements.
Public thread requirement for arranged deals
Deals arranged with borrowers must have a public facing thread — allows transparency but not covert solicitation.
