Frequently Asked Questions

What credit score do I need for a personal loan?

Most lenders require 580+, but best rates go to 700+. Credit unions may offer options for lower scores. Higher scores get significantly lower APRs—720+ can get rates under 10%.

How do personal loan payments work?

Personal loans have fixed monthly payments over a set term. Each payment includes principal and interest. Early in the loan, more goes to interest; later, more goes to principal.

Should I choose a longer or shorter loan term?

Shorter terms have higher monthly payments but less total interest. Longer terms are more affordable monthly but cost more overall. Balance monthly budget with total cost.
