Personal Loan Interest Rates

Personal loan, offered by banks to borrowers, is often referred to as an unsecured loan. The credit extended by banks to borrowers is categorized into secured and unsecured loans. While secured loan is backed by the assets of the borrower, it is relatively easy for banks to render such credite. But with unsecured loan, it is comparatively difficult since there is no asset against which the bank can possibly provide the credit to the borrower.

In unsecured personal loan, the borrower may apply for it at the bank. However, banks also come up with special offers to credible customers, giving them an opportunity to apply and receive credit. Such credite are also extended to borrowers who have bank accounts in the same bank and the bank transactions in the bank account have been active in the past one year.

Personal loans can be taken by customers for any reason and it is not necessary for the customer to inform the bank the reason for taking the loan. The loan could be taken for purchasing household items, organizing ceremonies, taking a holiday or any other reason. It could also be taken for the purpose of expanding one’s business. The need for capital could arise anytime for a businessman. A personal loan could be useful at such times for the businessman.

The bank assesses the financial history of the borrower before extending the loan. The assessment could include reviewing the bank account of the borrower. It is important for the bank to understand the nature of work of the borrower. If the borrower is a businessman or self-employed, his business is assessed through the review of balance sheets and annual turnover.

If the borrower is employed at a company, his salary is assessed. In usual cases, the bank extends credit to the customer when it gets convinced that the monthly salary or annual income is considerably high to the loan amount raised by the borrower. The borrower’s monthly income should be more than the monthly installment he has to pay to the bank.

A personal loan is the credit extended by the bank for short-term only. Such short-term credite have higher rate of interest and there are fixed dates before which the borrower is expected to pay the equal monthly installments every month. The entire principal amount along with the interest charged has to be returned back to the bank within the stipulated time. In personal loans based on business, credite are also offered by the bank taking into account the commercial viability of the business.

Although interest rates would be comparatively higher, the possibility of recovering loans is also better. Hence, the underwriter assesses the value of the business and sanctions the loan accordingly to the borrower. As personal loans are unsecured credite, they are not given away easily. If there are cases where such loans have been disbursed without assessing the repayment capacity of the borrower, the loan is referred to as sub-prime loan. Here, the sub-prime is the borrower.

    I lost my job of 9 years in 2009, due to the poor economy, which means I lost everything. I now have my old job back, but am staying in an extended stay hotel, due to know one will rent to me, because I broke my lease 4 months early, because I could not stay up with all my payments on unemployment. I also do not have a car, thus another reason I stay at this certain extend a stay (it’s right across street from where I work).

    I have lost all of my top teeth except two, and had a bridge but now the bridge is no good and the dentist wants $5000 for new one. He states he will take $2500 down and then let me make payments, but I can’t come up with the $2500, if I do not get teeth, my job will be history, since I’m the one all of our high end clients meet with. Please could someone lend me the $2500 so I can stay working and affording the $1200 a month I pay for a sleeze bag hotel. If i could just get a fresh start I could finally pay off the creditors I owe!

  14. Hello Neal,

    Sorry to hear about your financial troubles – I think you have a couple options.

    1. If you have a decent amount of debt on your credit cards you may want to consider consolidating them here https://secure.badcreditloancenter.com/debt-consolidation/. What happens is a debt consolidation manager will negotiate lower interest rates, get rid of late fee’s and combine your bills into one monthly payment.

    2. You can apply for a loan for up to 1500.00 dollars here https://secure.badcreditloancenter.com/. I know you said you need 3500.00 dollars but if your credit is not that great I don’t think you will find a lender willing to loan you more.

    If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I truly hope you find something to help you out. I know it’s tough out there right now and we are all feeling it.

    Best Regards,

    I am desperate! I need a $3500 Loan asap. My transmission went out and I owe credit cards. Hurricane Katrina screwed up my credit and I can’t get a loan. I could pay $200 a month for 18 months, but most likely will be able to pay it back come April when I get my bonus along with my income tax. Please help!

    My number is 504-***-****!! ( edited by admin )

    I am a real person trying to get out of credit trouble.

    THANKS!

  16. Hi Jsr,

    Sorry to hear that you were scammed before you really have to be careful. Anytime you see a fishy email or post like the one a few messages above it’s a dead giveaway of a scam.

    If you have bad credit you won’t find a lender willing to offer more than 1500.00 dollars per loan. The only other option you have is to go directly to your bank and try to take out a personal loan. The odds of you getting approved are going to be low and it’s another mark on your credit report.

    Have you thought about selling some personal items to try and make some quick cash? I’m just throwing some ideas out there that may help. If you decide to apply on our website this is the URL https://secure.badcreditloancenter.com/ but remember these lenders offer up to 1500.00 dollars.

    I truly hope you find a way to catch up and stay ahead, I know times are tough for a everyone.

  17. I have been looking for a loan of about $3500 and all I keep finding is pay day loans. My credit is bad right now I just want to catch things up so we can hopefully get things turned around! Once all my bills are current we will be fine as we make enough but things came up and we got behind plus I got scammed out of money trying to find a loan $1800 to be exact. I was desperate at the time and made a stupid decision! please help!

  21. **SCAM ALERT** From Admin!

    Anyone who see’s an email such as the one above from “Mr. Micheal Moss” it is a SCAM. These people will post their contact information around the Internet in hopes that you will send them your personal information. They will then either steal your identity or try to scam money from you.

    On a side note I will be reposting the lender information late tonight or early tomorrow morning. I am just working on some design options.

    Thanks,
    Daniel
