What is an installment loan?
An installment loan is money you borrow and repay in fixed, scheduled payments, usually every two weeks or monthly, until it's paid off. 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. Lenders in our network offer installment loans from $100 to $5,000 to Orangeburg borrowers who qualify.

Yes, many emergency loan lenders consider borrowers with bad credit. They often put more weight on your current income and ability to repay than on past credit problems. Approval isn't guaranteed, but applying through our network lets you reach multiple lenders with a single request instead of applying again and again. Orangeburg residents can see if they qualify in about 3 minutes.
What credit score do I need for a personal loan?
There's no single minimum. Some lenders want good credit, but many lenders in our network consider fair, poor and limited credit and weigh your income and job history too. A higher score may get you better rates and larger amounts, while lower scores may still qualify for smaller loans. Find out what's available to you in Orangeburg with our free 3-minute form.
