$2,500 personal loans

What to expect with a $2,500 loan

• At $2,500, the difference between offers often comes down to fees and term length as much as APR, so compare the total you would repay.
• If you could pay this off within a few months, compare a personal loan with other options you already have, such as savings or a card's promotional offer.
• Terms of 12 to 36 months are typical for this amount. A longer term lowers the monthly payment but increases total interest.
• Each lender sets its own APR, fees and terms based on your credit history, income and the amount you request.

How checking your options works

When you check your options for a $2,500 personal loan through Lendara, you answer a few questions about the loan you want, your income and your finances. Checking uses a soft credit inquiry, which doesn't affect your credit score.

If participating lenders have options for you, you can compare them side by side: APR, fees, monthly payment, term and total cost. Nothing is accepted until you choose an offer.

If you decide to apply with a lender, that lender may run a hard credit inquiry, which can affect your credit score. The lender, not Lendara, decides whether to approve you and on what terms.
