You can get a personal loan or line of credit for any reason, as long you qualify. Many people use personal loans or lines of credit to consolidate credit card debt at a lower interest rate, buy a car or pay for college or trade school.
As with any type of debt, it’s a good idea to weigh the pros and cons before you get a personal loan or line of credit. It may be worthwhile if it saves you money on higher-interest credit card debt or gets you through an emergency. It may not be the best idea if you plan to use it for something you could do without and can’t comfortably afford the monthly payments.

    Limits apply. Minute Lender offers unsecured personal loans and lines of credit only. Please contact a branch office for additional personal loans and lines of credit, including those secured by a Certificate of Deposit or other collateral. Once a Minute Lender loan is obtained by a customer using a deposit relationship, anyone with account affiliations with that customer is ineligible for a Minute Lender loan. As an example, if Customer A and Customer B are owners or signers on a deposit account and Customer A obtains a Minute Lender loan, Customer B is ineligible for a Minute Lender loan. These limits apply even if Customer B maintains additional deposit accounts that are not affiliated with Customer A. As an alternative, ineligible customers may reach out to your local branch for additional lending options.
