Consideration for a personal loan requires a review of your credit report. When credit is pulled, an inquiry is placed on your credit record. While the impact of individual inquiries cannot be determined exactly, a strong impact on your credit score is more likely with repeated or excessive inquiries in a short period of time. Applications for credit on a reasonable, periodic basis are not likely to create a lasting negative effect on your credit score. We do suggest monitoring your credit report by taking advantage of your free annual credit report available at www.annualcreditreport.com.
Our personal loans are available for consumer and household needs. Business loans can be applied for with our branch managers or contact MyConcierge™.
