Is a Personal Loan Right for Me?
Personal loans are most commonly used in the following instances:
- You have existing debt, want to pay a lower interest rate on the balance, and cannot get a balance transfer credit card
- You have an upcoming expense that you cannot afford, but you don’t own a house or have cash to obtain a secured loan
Personal loans are a solid solution in either situation because the interest rate on a personal loan is lower than the interest rate on credit card debt and other altnernative sources of financing. While personal loans are available for consumers with less-than-perfect credit, the interest rate that you receive will depend upon your credit history.
Below are representative interest rates for personal loans
| How's Your Credit? | FICO Range | Estimated APR |
| Excellent | 720-850 | 10.94% |
| Very Good | 670-719 | 14.56% |
| Fair | 630-669 | 19.84% |
| Not Good | 580-629 | 28.64% |
| Poor | 579 and below | unlikely to qualify |
Finding a personal loan can be difficult because in addition to some lenders only approving consumers with certain types of credit, many also only lend in specific states and for specific purposes. For instance, one lender may be a great option for a consumer in Alabama, but if that same person moves to California, he will be denied a loan from the same lender.
We’ve made it easy for borrowers to understand exactly which lenders are most likely to approve them. Just scroll up and select the options that apply to you, and you’ll see the lenders changed based off of your selections.

Borrow Responsibly – A short-term loan is ideally used for short-term financial needs only, not as a long-term financial solution. Late or missed loan payments may be subject to increased fees and interest rates. Lenders may use collection services for nonpayment of loans. We recommend seeking credit counseling if you have financial difficulties.
