Does Your Budget Need to Recover from the Holidays?

What is a Personal Loan?

• A personal loan allows you to borrow a fixed amount (generally up to $50,000) that you pay back in monthly installments over the life of the loan (typically 12-84 months).

What can I use a personal loan for?

• Consolidate debt.
• Pay for unexpected expenses.
• Finance projects and life events.

How am I approved?

• The lender decides if you qualify based on your financial history and ability to afford ongoing payments of the loan.
• Borrowers with the highest credit scores typically receive the lowest rates.

Interest Rates and Fees

• Interest rates and fees can make a big difference in how much you pay over the life of a loan, and they vary widely from lender to lender.

What's a typical interest rate?

• Rates typically range from around 5% to 36%, depending on the lender and your credit.
• Some lenders charge an origination fee to cover the cost of processing the loan and charge a pre-payment fee if you pay off your loan early.

Who Needs a Personal Loan?

• If you're looking to consolidate high-interest debt or finance a large expense.
• It makes sense when it’s less expensive than other forms of credit, and you can comfortably afford the monthly payments.
• If your situation has improved since taking out an original loan — such as your credit score improving or making more money. This could allow you to save money by taking out a new personal loan to pay off an existing loan.
• Home improvements can also be a cause for a personal loan if it adds value to your home. Using a personal loan will help avoid using your house as an asset as well as increasing credit card debt.

How Will I Benefit from a Personal Loan?

• It's one way to consolidate debt into a single payment and could allow you to pay off debt faster.
• Interest rates on personal loans are typically lower than credit cards, and most personal loans are unsecured, meaning they don't require collateral.
• Debt consolidation can help reduce missed payments to multiple creditors by consolidating to just one loan with potentially lower interest rates.
