Offerings from personal loan companies vary greatly. Each company sets its own interest rates, credit score requirements and repayment terms, which makes comparing different companies an important step in the personal loan process. As you compare lenders, consider their:
Sauk County residents should also look for a company with a great reputation and positive reviews.
Personal loans aren’t free— you have to pay back whatever you borrow and then some. Lenders make money in two ways: by charging fees and monthly interest. Origination fees are typically between 1% - 8% of the total loan amount, while APRs typically fall between 5.99% and 35.99%.
These amounts are set by each company and depend on your financial history and credit score. Compare companies to find the one that offers the best rates for your situation.
What's the minimum credit score for a personal loan?
Most lenders require you to have a credit score between 580 and 660 for personal loans.
Can you get a personal loan with a credit score of 550?
Yes, some companies offer personal loans for people with low credit. However, interest rates are much higher and these loans cost more in the long run.
What should I look for when getting a personal loan?
When looking for a personal loan, we recommend finding a company that offers fair rates and flexible repayment terms. Make sure to look for positive reviews of the company as well.
Is it a good idea to take out a personal loan?
It varies from situation to situation, but if your APR is fair and you can afford to repay it within the agreed-upon terms, a personal loan is typically a good idea.
Does a personal loan hurt your credit?
In most cases, a personal loan only hurts your credit score if you don’t pay it back on time. If you make regular payments, it may actually help you build a better credit score.
Should I take a personal loan to pay off credit cards?
It depends. If your personal loan has an interest rate that’s lower than your credit card, it can save you more money as you pay off your debts. Personal loans can also help consolidate multiple credit card debts into one payment.
Can you pay off a personal loan early?
Usually, but some companies charge a prepayment penalty if you pay your loan off early. Your contract should outline this for you.
Does paying off a personal loan early help your credit?
No. In general, the longer you pay on a loan, the better it is for your credit because it helps build a credit history.
