Frequently asked questions

You borrow a fixed amount and repay it in equal monthly installments over a set term at a fixed rate — so your payment never changes and you know your payoff date up front.

Pre-qualifying uses a soft inquiry that doesn't affect your score. A hard inquiry only happens if you formally apply for a chosen offer.

Most personal loans are flexible — consolidating credit-card debt, home projects, medical bills, or large one-off costs. Rates are usually lower than carrying a card balance.
