How Personal Loans Work

  • wordpress
    A personal loan has many different uses. Funds can be deposited directly into any of your bank accounts, so you can use a personal loan in a variety of ways. Personal loans are often used for debt consolidation, so you may be able to pay down your debt at a fixed rate. A personal loan can also help finance a large purchase, like a wedding, a vacation or a home remodel. If you're facing an unexpected expense or a financial emergency you can apply for the funds you need with a personal loan. You can also use a personal loan to cover medical bills, adoption or IVF, auto repairs, and more.

    You can open an account by signing up on our platform, verifying your identity, and funding your account.

    What will my interest rate be?

    How does my credit score affect my interest rate?

    In the most general terms, the higher your credit score is, the lower your interest rate and monthly payments may be. Your interest rate is determined at the time of application based on the information you provide.

    What's an origination fee?

    Some lenders charge customers a fee for processing and originating the loans—this is an origination fee. This fee is deducted from the total amount of the loan, so if your lender charges origination fees, remember to account for that when you request your total loan amount. Discover Personal Loans does not charge origination fees.

    Will my loan payment change from month to month?

    With a Discover personal loan, you get a fixed rate. That means you'll lock in your interest rate, so your monthly payments will remain the same for the duration of your loan, as long as you make the monthly payments on time. This is typically the key difference between a line of credit and a personal loan.

    Are there fees to keep in mind?

    With a Discover personal loan, there are no fees of any kind.​
