Frequently Asked Questions
What is an origination fee on a personal loan?
An origination fee is an upfront administrative charge levied by lenders to process your loan application. It typically ranges from 1% to 8% and is directly subtracted from the requested loan amount before funds are disbursed.
How does my credit score affect my personal loan rate?
Lenders use your credit score to evaluate risk. Borrowers with excellent credit (740+) qualify for low interest rates (around 6%–10% APR), whereas lower scores (under 600) may incur APRs exceeding 25% to 30%.
Is a shorter or longer personal loan term better?
A shorter loan term reduces total interest costs over time but increases your required monthly payment. A longer term lowers monthly payments, making them easier to fit into your budget, but increases overall interest paid.
