How Our Personal Loans Work
If you’ve had a car loan or a mortgage, a personal loan will feel familiar. It’s an installment loan: you borrow a fixed amount and repay it in equal monthly payments over a set term. Most personal loans are unsecured, which means no collateral is required, and that flexibility is why they fit everything from consolidating debt to a surprise expense.
Some carry a lower rate because they’re secured, backed by money you already hold in savings or a certificate rather than by property. Approval and your rate depend on your creditworthiness, income, and the amount and term you choose. Membership is open to anyone who lives, works, worships, or attends school in Michigan, and approved funds go straight into your account. Approval times vary.
