Online Loans

What Are Online Loans?

An online loan is similar to a traditional loan, except that everything is done over the internet. As long as you have a connection to the internet, you can fill out a loan request. There are many different types of online loans, as well as online lenders.

Why Use PersonalLoans.com?

Submitting a request for an online loan through a trusted company like PersonalLoans.com is a great way to find lenders without all the research and guessing. We are not lenders ourselves; we have our own large network of lenders and also work with other third-party lender networks. So, by submitting the loan request form on PersonalLoans.com, your information is shown to this large extended network of lenders so they can decide whether to offer you a loan based on the information you provided. This can save you time because you won’t have to go to a bunch of individual lenders to find one willing to offer you a loan. Also, if no lenders offer you a loan, we may pass some limited information about you to other partners so you can receive offers for debt relief, credit repair, credit monitoring or other related services.

Online Loan Process

You can start by filling out a loan request form on PersonalLoans.com. This will include information like the amount you would like to borrow and the reason for the loan. You can also input some basic personal information, including your income and credit type. We will take this information and use it to find a loan you may qualify for.

Next, the lenders will make a decision about whether to accept your loan request. If your request is approved, you will be presented with a loan agreement from the lender stating the specific terms and conditions of your loan. Make sure to read the agreement carefully and that you understand all the terms listed before you accept.

Finally, once you have agreed to the terms and accepted the loan, you will receive the requested funds. Shortly after you agree to the terms of the loan, the amount you’re approved for will be deposited into your account as soon as the next business day.

Types of Online Loans

The amount you wish to borrow, and the reason for the loan, may help determine the type of loan you get. Other factors like income and credit score will also be taken into account. There are several types of online loans you may qualify for, including:

Personal Installment Loans

Personal online installment loans are a great option because they are fast and convenient. They are also customizable to your personal financial needs. Regulations for personal installment loans vary by state, but the basic requirements are similar. You generally need to have a credit score above 580, an income above $2,000 per month, and be employed, self-employed, or receiving benefits. You can request a loan amount of between $250 and $35,000. The amount of your loan, interest rate, and length of the loan will be determined by the lender based on your qualifications.

Peer-to-Peer Loans

Peer-to-peer loans have similar requirements to personal installment loans, except that lenders prefer a credit score above 600. Peer-to-peer loans are loans from investors, which may be a person or a company instead of a bank. Investors may be shown the reason for the loan to determine if it is something they wish to be a part of. PersonalLoans.com has partnerships with several lenders and lending networks who offer peer-to-peer loans, and each of these lenders has their own terms and conditions. You may be able to acquire a lower rate with a peer-to-peer loan, and you can make fixed payments for the length of the loan.

What to Look For

Anytime you share personal or financial information online, you want to be sure it is with a company you trust. Be aware of the way a personal online loan should work and watch for warning signs that may indicate a scam. Companies that offer very short-term loans may expect you to be unable to pay the loan off in this amount of time, which means they get to collect more fees. They may also charge considerably higher interest rates than other online loan companies. We recommend that you do not agree to an upfront payment of any kind, as this may be indicative of a scam.

You should also be leery of companies who promise to help you acquire online loans with no credit check. While this may seem enticing if your credit score is low, you may be getting in over your head. A credit check is a good way to ensure you are getting a loan that you can afford.
