Not necessarily. Checking offers often uses a soft inquiry that doesn't affect your score, though a lender may do a hard pull before final approval.

Can I get a personal loan with a 500 credit score?

Personal loans, auto loans and many short-term loans are installment loans. Because repayment is spread out, each payment is smaller than a lump sum.
