What is a Personal Loan?

businessman with money

Check Center makes it easy to get the money you require! When our neighbors in the Bay Area need to increase their short-term cashflow, many acquire personal loans that can get them where they need to go, and fast! It’s not difficult to see why: a personal loan is a type of consumer loan that can be applied to any non-commercial need. These flexible borrowing options are distinguished from other loans by the following characteristics.

  • You can use your personal loan to pay medical bills, access education, finance family adventures, or update your house!
  • Unlike some larger loans, personal loans may be offered with minimal security, or with no security at all. In most cases, it is either the asset purchased or a co-signer that secures a personal loan.
  • When determining your eligibility for a personal loan, we’ll look only at your credit history and your ability to repay.
  • Personal loans are generally paid back in fixed installments, and we’ll work with you to build a repayment plan.
  • As a non-commercial loan, a personal loan cannot be used for business-related purposes.

No matter what challenges you’re facing, our personal loans can help you move forward.
