What is a personal loan?

Personal loans are lump-sum loans that you can use for a variety of purposes, such as:

  • Consolidating debt for a lower rate
  • Covering unexpected costs
  • Funding home improvements
  • Paying for medical bills
  • Financing a major purchase or expense

Personal loans are unsecured, meaning they don't require you to put up collateral, like your home or car, as security.
