Personal (or Signature) loan agreements allow you to borrow small amounts with short-term or moderate-term monthly payments. There are two main types:

• Unsecured: do not require collateral
• Secured: do require collateral

Most personal loans are unsecured, so we at EXCEL typically do not require collateral such as a savings account or checking account to approve your online loan application.

We can approve your online loan application within one day or less. These personal online loans have a lower interest rate than other types of loans, and their payment terms are generous. This makes them easy to pay back for most people. Also, taking out online loans may positively affect your credit score if you repay on time.

Installment loans are a type of personal loan with a longer term than others. Many people opt for installment loans if they need more generous payment terms to repay the loan. Often, installment loans have a more long-term interest rate. We offer installment loans through our website, and you can often expect to receive the funds from an installment loan in your checking account by the next business day.

EXCEL online lenders are flexible and can approve loans for various purposes. Many people use loan proceeds to pay for things like:

•         Medical bills

People also use this money to consolidate debt from credit cards. This may positively affect your credit score since you will repay your debt at a fixed rate, lowering your credit utilization as you diversify your debt types.

However, the interest rates for each person’s loan may vary based on several factors:

• Credit score: We utilize the three major credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion, to accurately determine applicant credit scores. Your credit score takes into account your entire financial history. The higher your credit score, the lower your interest rates will be. You can still qualify for a personal loan if you have lower credit, but your interest rate may be less optimal in this case.
• Credit report: A soft credit check and credit report will tell us financial information that your credit score does not, such as bankruptcy, foreclosure, and delinquent payments. If your credit report comes back clean, you may qualify for a low interest rate. Just as with a low credit score, a poor credit report does not disqualify you from receiving a loan, but it does affect your interest rate.
• Income: We want to make sure you can repay your loan, so we will look at your debt-to-income ratio to see if our payment will compete with other debts, such as credit card debt. If you have sufficient income in your bank account and few debts, you will likely qualify for a lower interest rate.

If you do have a low credit score, receiving a personal loan and making prompt payments can help improve your credit. However, you may want to improve your credit before you apply in order to get the best interest rates.

The loan amount for which you can qualify may vary. We offer options for anywhere from $2,000 to $50,000, but not everyone can qualify for the highest loan amount. Once you submit your loan application, we will process your information and contact you by the next business day to let you know if we’ve approved your loan amount. If we do not approve your application, you might be able to qualify for a smaller loan amount or a longer payment option instead.
