Personal loans offer a flexible and straightforward way to access funds for various purposes. Unlike credit cards, which often come with higher interest rates and revolving balances, personal loans provide:
- Fixed Interest Rates: Enjoy predictable monthly payments with competitive rates
- Flexible Loan Amounts: Borrow up to $25,000 to meet your specific needs.
- Varied Term Lengths: Choose repayment terms up to 60 months, allowing for manageable payments.
- No Collateral Required: Our unsecured loans are based on your creditworthiness, eliminating the need for collateral.
Types of Personal Loans
We offer two primary types of personal loans to cater to your unique financial situation:
1. Unsecured Personal Loans
These loans do not require any collateral and are ideal for those who prefer to borrow based solely on their credit profile.
- Competitive Rates
- Loan Amounts: Up to $25,000.
- Terms: Flexible terms up to 60 months.
- No Prepayment Penalty: Pay off your loan early without any additional fees.
- Debt Protection Available: Optional coverage to safeguard your loan in unforeseen circumstances.
2. Secured Personal Loans
If you're looking to establish or rebuild your credit, a secured loan might be the right choice. These loans are backed by funds in your savings or certificate accounts with us.
- Competitive Rates: Typically lower due to the collateral backing.
- Loan Amounts: Minimum of $500.
- Terms: Up to 60 months.
- Debt Protection Available: Optional coverage for added peace of mind.
Note: Secured loans are an excellent way to build credit while accessing the funds you need.
