Our Personal Loans Explained
Flexible Lines of Credit
A Line of Credit is a convenient way to borrow. Once approved, you are given access to your credit limit. However, you do not have to borrow all the money at once. You choose how much and when to borrow, then just make payments based on your principal balance and daily interest accrued on what you’ve used. Not the whole loan amount. Plus, enjoy unlimited no-fee advances up to your credit limit.††
Personal Secured Loan
Our Secured Loan is a different kind of personal loan that you can apply for up to $25,000. You may be approved for more money than a Line of Credit and your payments will be scheduled for the same amount each due date. To apply for a Secured Loan, please visit a LendDirect branch with your vehicle and required documentation.
