Personal Loans
Personal loan decisions should be evaluated around purpose, APR, term, payment, credit profile, and total repayment.
A payment you can live with.
A personal installment loan provides money repaid over a set period. Compare the annual percentage rate, fees, net cash received and total repayment against your household budget.
Where it can fit
- Borrowers with a defined personal expense
- Households able to support a new scheduled payment
Common uses
What shapes the file.

Documents to prepare

- Current obligations and monthly budget

Know the tradeoffs.
- A lower monthly payment may result from a longer, more expensive term.
- Fees may reduce the proceeds you actually receive.
