Frequently Asked Questions

Think of a personal loan as a financial tool that lets you borrow a set amount of money while knowing exactly what you’ll pay each month. Unlike credit cards with fluctuating payments, personal loans give you a clear repayment schedule. Whether you’re tackling home repairs, consolidating debt, or handling life’s unexpected curves, a personal loan can help you achieve your goals with structured payments that fit your budget. Curious about specific loan options? Check out our personal loans page for more details.

Personal loans can be particularly helpful in several situations. They’re worth considering when you want to consolidate multiple high-interest credit cards into one simpler payment, fund a major home improvement project, or cover significant expenses like medical bills or wedding costs. They can also be smart options when you want to avoid putting large purchases on high-interest credit cards. The key is having a clear plan for using and repaying the funds – we’re happy to help you figure out if a personal loan makes sense for your specific situation.

Most lenders want to see that you have a steady income and can comfortably make monthly payments. A good credit score helps, it’s not the only factor lenders consider. They look at your whole financial picture – including your employment history and current bills – to find the right loan for you.

While many lenders look for scores around 670 or higher, don’t let a lower score discourage you! We work with various lenders who consider other factors besides just credit scores. Your income, employment stability, and overall financial health all play important roles in loan approval.

Don’t let less-than-perfect credit hold you back. Many of our lending partners specialize in working with borrowers who are rebuilding their credit. Check out our installment loans page to explore options that could work for your situation, regardless of your credit history.

We’ve made applying quick and stress-free! Just head to our apply now page and fill out our straightforward online form. We’ll match you with lenders who fit your specific situation, and you’ll get to review your options without any pressure or obligation.

To make your application process smooth sailing, gather these key documents beforehand: a valid ID (like your driver’s license), recent pay stubs or tax returns to verify your income, and your basic banking information. Having these ready will help you breeze through the application.

Good news – most of our lending partners move fast! You’ll typically hear back within 24-48 hours, and some can even give you a decision the same day. Ready to get started? Visit our apply now page to kick things off.

We offer flexibility with repayment terms typically ranging from 1 to 5 years. This means you can choose a monthly payment that fits your budget.

Your interest rate is like your loan’s price tag – it’s personalized based on several factors. While your credit score plays a role, lenders also consider your income, current debts, and the loan term you choose. The stronger your financial profile, the better your rate typically will be.

We believe in transparency about costs. Depending on the lender, you might see an origination fee (a one-time processing fee), and there could be fees for late payments. We’ll make sure you understand all potential costs before you commit to a loan.

Absolutely! We encourage responsible borrowing, and many of our lending partners won’t charge you extra for paying off your loan ahead of schedule. Just check your loan agreement for any specific terms about early repayment.
