Personal Loan FAQs
Personal Loan Basics
What’s a personal loan?
A personal loan is an unsecured loan with a fixed rate and payment. You pay the loan back in monthly installments. It provides financial flexibility and quick access to cash with no collateral required, plus no application, origination or early prepayment fees. If approved, you’ll receive a lump sum of money in your checking or savings account to use for practically anything.
What can I use a personal loan for?
Whatever you'd like! Debt consolidation, home renovations and big expenses are common ways that personal loans are used, but you're not limited to those. You could get the funds you need for medical expenses, taxes, weddings, adoptions, IVF and more.
Can I use a personal loan to pay off my credit cards?
Yes! You can use a personal loan to pay off any high-interest credit cards and combine your debt into a single loan with a predictable, fixed payment each month. It’s an easy way to simplify your finances and possibly pay less interest each month so you can build your savings.
What’s the difference between a personal loan and a debt consolidation loan?
A personal loan is a single unsecured loan with a fixed rate and payment while a debt consolidation loan is a type of personal loan that combines multiple debts into a single loan with a fixed monthly payment, interest rate and repayment term.
