Personal Loan FAQs



What can I use a personal loan for?


Many people apply for a low-interest personal loan to consolidate high-interest credit card debt. These loans can also be used to fund major life purchases or expenses, like home improvements, weddings, unexpected medical expenses, moving expenses, or funerals.

Learn more: What Are The Common Uses For Personal Loans?



What is a personal loan?


A personal loan is a loan offered by many banks, credit unions, or online personal loan lenders and typically range from $5K-$100K. While many loans specify how the money should be spent, personal loans allow for more flexibility and can be used to cover big expenses or consolidate high-interest debt with a more favorable rate.

Learn more: What is a Personal Loan?



Should I take out a personal loan to pay off my credit cards?


Personal loans can be used for a variety of purposes, but are commonly used to consolidate high-interest credit card debt. When using a personal loan to pay off credit card debt, the loan funding is used to pay off the cards’ outstanding balances. Ideally, the new debt consolidation loans will have a lower interest rate, making payments more manageable or saving the person money from accrued interest. Click here to learn more about the pros and cons of using low interest personal loans to consolidate debt.

Learn more: Using a Personal Loan to Pay Off Credit Card Debt



How can I calculate my expected monthly payments for a personal loan?


The monthly payment for a personal loan is determined by a variety of factors, including your interest rate, loan amount, loan term, and more. Our Personal Loan Calculator can help you figure out your monthly payments and decide whether applying for a personal loan is the right move for you.



Do personal loans require down payments?


No, unsecured personal loans do not require a down payment, unlike a secured home loan.



What credit score is needed for a personal loan?


Applying for personal loans online or at your financial institution will require meeting your lender’s criteria. Since most personal loans are unsecured (meaning they don’t require collateral) this criteria assures the lender that you can repay the loan. Lenders will typically evaluate your credit score, income, and debt-to-income ratio, among other factors. Lower credit scores could affect your eligibility, terms or rate for a SoFi Personal Loan.

Learn more: Typical Personal Loan Requirements Needed for Approval



Are SoFi Personal Loans fixed interest rate or variable interest rate loans?


SoFi Personal Loans are fixed rate loans. If you like the consistency of knowing exactly what your monthly payments will be over time, you might prefer a fixed rate loan. Also, if you plan to pay your loan back over a longer period of time, say 10 or 20 years, you might prefer to eliminate the risk of interest rate changes over time by selecting a fixed rate loan.



Is the SoFi Personal Loan secured or unsecured?


SoFi Personal Loans are unsecured loans. This means that you do not need to provide collateral for the loan.



How much money can I get a personal loan for?


The answer depends on a wide range of factors, which mainly includes the type of lender and your
credit score. A SoFi Personal Loan allows applicants to borrow between $5,000 and $100,000.



Will applying for a personal loan affect my credit?


To check the rates and terms you qualify for, SoFi conducts a soft credit pull that will not affect your credit score. However, if you choose a product and continue your application, we will request your full credit report from one or more credit bureaus, which is considered a hard credit pull.




How long do I need to wait to reapply after my Personal Loan application has been declined?


You will need to wait at least 30 days before re-applying for a Personal Loan with the same borrower(s). You are welcome to retry at any time with a co-borrower, if the previous application was as a single borrower. If you initially applied with a co-borrower, you can retry as a single borrower or with a different co-borrower.

FAQs



What is a mortgage?


A mortgage loan (or home loan) is a loan to purchase a home or other real estate—without having all the money upfront.

Learn more: Understanding Mortgage Basics



What are the different types of mortgage loans?


There are a variety of different mortgage loan options with different interest rates, terms, and protections. Fixed-rate mortgages have the same rate throughout the life of the loan, whereas adjustable-rate mortgages have interest rates that can fluctuate after an initial fixed-rate period of months to years. Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loans are loans issued by mortgage lenders on behalf of the government and are insured by the FHA. Learn more about different types of mortgage loans and their unique benefits here.



How much do I qualify for?


You can begin to figure out the right mortgage loan for you by evaluating your down payment, interest rate, credit score, and monthly payments. This Mortgage Calculator can help you get started.



What are the current mortgage rates?


Interest rates can vary and are subject to change. Our Mortgage Calculator can help you find a rate that works for you. You can also reach out to a Mortgage Loan Officer to discuss your needs.



How can I get the lowest mortgage rate?


Your mortgage loan’s interest rate is affected by your credit score, down payment, and the amount of your mortgage loan, among other factors. Our Mortgage Calculator can help you get a better look at your options.



How does my credit score affect my home mortgage interest rate?


Your credit score will weigh heavily in whether you qualify for a conventional or FHA mortgage loan and the interest rate on that loan. This article breaks down how your credit score can affect your interest rate, monthly payments, and mortgage loan options.



What is the minimum down payment on a home?


Mortgage lenders have traditionally asked borrowers to pay at least 20% of a home’s purchase price as a down payment. However, this is changing. Your credit score, type of mortgage loan, and purchase price can all affect how much you’re required to put down. This article breaks down these factors and can help you determine how much you should put down.




Do I need to get a home appraisal before getting a mortgage loan?


A home appraisal is an objective and professional analysis of a home’s value. An appraisal consists of information like the floor plan, amenities, and size, as well as a visual inspection, real estate trends in the area, and the value of homes near yours. Before applying for mortgage loan refinancing, listing your house on the market, or buying a home, you’ll need to get a home appraisal.
