TGTBank personal loan, as opposed to a commercial or business, is a loan to an individual for his or her own use. This type of loan is smaller than a mortgage and is typically used to purchase a car, renovate the home, pay for a vacation, to finance a wedding, to cover funeral costs or deal with an unexpected event.
Different Types of Personal Loans
What are the requirements to qualify?
Each lender has their own set requirements to qualify for a personal loan. But the personal information they typically look for are borrowers who are 18 or older, U.S. citizens or permanent residents with a valid Social Security number, have a steady income, and those who have a good credit history.
Requirements to Qualify for a Personal Loan
How much can I borrow with a personal loan?
How much you can borrow with a personal loan depends largely on your credit score as well as your debt-to-income ratio, which is the amount of your monthly income that goes to paying ongoing obligations like your rent, car payment, or credit card bills.
The upper limits for online personal loans vary by lender but typically fall in the $35,000 to $50,000 range. However, lenders on the Credible marketplace offer personal loans to qualified borrowers up to $100,000.

Will checking my rates affect my credit score?
Using Credible to check your rates doesn’t affect your credit score. Here’s how it works: Credible’s prequalification process uses a soft credit inquiry that allows you to see personalized prequalified rates.
There is no obligation to proceed with any of the loan options presented on your dashboard, but if you see a loan option with one of our partner lenders that you’d like to proceed with, you’ll be asked to authorize a hard credit check when you apply for an unsecured personal loan. A hard inquiry can impact your credit score by two to nine points, but typically by no more than five.
How To: Build Credit and Raise Your Credit Score
How quickly will I receive my funds?
Once you’ve completed the loan application process, most lenders can fund your loan by the next business day (though it can take up to about a week, depending on the lender).
What interest rate can I expect?
Generally, the shorter the loan term, the lower the interest rate offered by most loan companies. Some lenders even offer an autopay discount if you authorize your monthly loan payments to be directly withdrawn from your checking account or savings account.
Qualifying for lower rates offered by a lender is dependent on your online loan application, credit history and credit score, whether you get a short-term loan or a long-term loan, loan purpose, and other factors. The better your credit score, the better the interest rate you can qualify for.
Personal Loan Interest Rates
Can I pay off my personal loan early?
Yes. Fortunately, none of Credible’s partner lenders will charge for this. However, other lenders may charge a fee (called a prepayment penalty) if you decide to pay the loan off before the term is up.

How else can I use a personal loan?
You’re typically not limited in how you can use your personal loan funds. Personal loans can help you pay down high-interest credit card debt, meet unexpected needs like medical bills, take care of a major purchase like a new refrigerator, purchase a new or used car with an auto loan, or fund home improvement projects. However, some lenders only provide fixed-rate loans for specific purposes (and some rates vary based on what you use it for), so you will be asked for the purpose of your loan
