FINANCIAL EDUCATION

What is a Personal Loan?

A personal loan is an installment loan provided by banks, credit unions, or online lenders that is repaid through regular scheduled payments over a fixed period.

Unlike credit cards, personal loans provide a lump sum upfront and typically feature fixed interest rates and predictable monthly payments. Understanding key financial terms ensures you make informed borrowing choices.

Principal The base amount borrowed before interest.
APR Annual rate including interest & applicable fees.
Repayment Term The total time (months/years) allowed to repay.
Total Repayment Sum of principal plus all accrued interest & fees.

How Credit Profiles Impact Terms

Lenders evaluate several factors when determining whether to offer a loan and what rate to apply:

  • Credit Score & History: Demonstrates past repayment reliability.
  • Debt-to-Income Ratio (DTI): Measures existing monthly debt against gross monthly income.
  • Employment & Income: Verifies steady cash flow to support monthly payments.
  • Requested Amount & Term: Larger amounts or longer terms may carry different risk profiles.

FINANCIAL HEALTH

Before You Borrow, Consider:

Borrowing responsibly is essential to long-term financial security.

Do I really need the loan?

Evaluate if the expense is necessary or if savings can cover it.

✓
Can I comfortably afford payments?

Check your monthly budget against estimated loan repayments.

✓
Have I compared APR and total repayment?

Look beyond monthly payments to total lifetime interest costs.

✓
Do I understand all potential fees?

Inquire about origination fees, late payment charges, or prepayment terms.
