Personal Loan FAQ

A personal loan is a type of installment loan that allows you to borrow a lump sum of money and repay it over time with fixed monthly payments. You can use a personal loan for various purposes, such as covering medical expenses or funding home improvements. Interest rates and terms vary depending on your credit score, income, and loan amount. At BayFirst, we offer flexible personal loans with competitive rates and no hidden fees.

Personal loans offer several benefits, including fixed interest rates, predictable monthly payments, and the flexibility to use the funds for almost any purpose. They can be a good option for financing large expenses or covering emergencies. Our personal loans come with quick approval processes and terms tailored to your financial needs.

To qualify for a personal loan, lenders typically consider your credit score, income, and debt-to-income ratio. Good credit can help you secure better terms, but even if your credit is less than perfect, BayFirst offers credit-builder loans designed to help you improve your credit score while accessing the funds you need. We offer flexible requirements for different loan types.
1 Effective April, 1, 2025, in order to obtain a home equity, personal, or auto loan, a BayFirst checking, savings, or money market account is required with minimum balance of 5% of the loan amount or $5,000, whichever is less.  The account may be funded by net proceeds from home equity loans. All loans subject to approval, including credit approval. Income and credit restrictions may apply.  Programs subject to change or terminate without notice.
