What are personal loans?

Personal loans are designed to help individuals who are looking for short-term funding to fulfill almost any kind of financial need, such as an unexpected bill or an urgent car repair. Licensed financial institutions as well as non-traditional lenders typically offer these loans, and the cost of borrowing one is usually described as the loan’s APR (annual percentage rate).

Lenders are legally required to disclose the APR of their loans, and this metric can sometimes differ from the loan’s nominal interest rate as it includes the impact of other fees collected by the lender. Some of the most common fees include:

  • Origination fees: These fees, which are collected upfront, are usually calculated as a percentage of the amount borrowed, and they are usually deducted directly from the amount deposited to the borrower; or, in some cases, they can be added to the loan amount to be subsequently paid through the upcoming installments.
  • Prepayment penalties: Some lenders may charge a fee to borrowers who pay the loan back in full (or partially) before its due date.
  • Late payment fees: If a borrower fails to pay back an installment before it is due, lenders usually collect a late fee that is either added to the loan’s outstanding balance or deducted from the borrower’s bank account once it has enough funds.

Personal loans can be employed by individuals for many different purposes. Some lenders don’t require that the borrower discloses the potential purpose of the funds received through the loan, and, therefore, they can be used for virtually anything. Some borrowers use personal loans to pay for pending bills, to cover their basic living expenses while the next paycheck arrives, to cover a medical bill, or to simply fulfill a gap in their budget.

Lenders usually offer different types of personal loans for different financial needs. These loans can either be secured (requires collateral) or unsecured (no collateral), and they can be used for things such as debt consolidation or balance transfers.

Personal Loan Benefits

Some of the benefits of a personal loan are:

Flexible credit terms: Depending on the type of loan, lenders may be willing to offer borrowers extended credit periods that may range from a few weeks to 48 months. 

No collateral for unsecured loans: Unsecured personal loans allow the borrower to take out a loan without having to commit any collateral.

A good alternative for people with challenging credit situations: Personal loans extended by non-traditional lenders are usually less strict in their selection criteria, specifically regarding credit score. In fact, some lenders offer bad credit loans, such as payday loans and cash advances, to help individuals who are unlikely to get approved for a personal loan from traditional financial institutions.

Budget-conscious interest rates: The APRs associated with personal loans, and the fact that the payment period is usually short, makes them an affordable alternative for those looking for fast short-term funding.
