A personal loan creates a repayment obligation and can affect your broader financial situation. Before accepting any offer, compare the total cost—not only the monthly payment.
Review these items
- Annual Percentage Rate (APR)
- Origination and other fees
- Monthly payment
- Number of payments
- Total amount repayable
- Late-payment or returned-payment consequences
- Whether the payment fits your budget
Consider alternatives
Depending on your situation, alternatives may include adjusting the timing of a purchase, negotiating a bill, using savings, seeking assistance from a nonprofit credit counselor, or comparing lower-cost credit options.
