and Services
It means any and all commitments or obligations
under which the Bank agrees to make payments on
behalf of or for the account of the Borrower,
including letters of credit, guarantees or other
arrangements intended to facilitate transactions
between the Borrower and third parties, or under
which the Bank enters into a credit or financial
accommodation, agreement or other arrangement
with the Borrower, irrespective of whether the
Bank’s obligation is contingent or conditional.
Personal loans are relatively easy to apply for and qualify for when compared
to home and auto loans. That makes them useful for everything from small home
improvements to expensive purchases. You can use the money for almost anything,
but it’s wise to borrow only as much as you need—and only for things that improve
your finances or make a significant impact on your life.
Banks and credit unions have a long history of offering personal loans. You can often apply in
person or online and receive funds in your checking account quickly.
● Online Lenders
Peer-to-peer (P2P) sites and other online lenders offer loans from investors and financial
institutions. These services are the most likely to use alternative credit scoring models, and the
application process is often easy.
● Specialized Lenders
Some lenders work directly with service providers. They might fund dental work, fertility
treatment, or landscaping projects. Borrowing is convenient, but it’s wise to shop around and
compare offers.
Spending a Personal Loan
Consolidating Debt- If you owe money on credit cards with high interest rates, you can pay off those debts with a personal
loan that has a lower rate. You can eliminate debt more quickly because less of each monthly payment goes toward interest
costs.
Small Home Improvements- It’s common to use home equity loans for home improvement projects because you're
reinvesting in your property. But if you don’t need a significant amount, a personal loan for home improvements may be less
expensive and easier to apply for.
Expensive Purchases- When you need to buy something big or expensive that you don’t have the cash for, a personal loan
could solve your need.
Investing in Yourself- Personal loans may be able to provide funding when you start a business or need to learn new skills for
your career. However, some lenders limit how you can use loan proceeds. For example, some personal loans don't permit you
to use them to pay for higher education expenses.4
Emergencies- Ideally, you have emergency savings available for life’s surprises. But sometimes there are no options besides
borrowing. If you're facing steep medical expenses or another emergency, a personal loan might make sense.
How to Get Approved for a Personal Loan
Lenders evaluate loan applications based on creditworthiness. Here are the factors they usually consider.
❖ Credit History
Lenders often check your credit or obtain a credit score to find out how you've handled credit in the
past. Your credit reports contain details about previous loans, any late payments, and public records that
lenders might want to know about.
Lenders may also use alternative credit scoring tools. For example, they might look at your history of
on-time rent and utility payments to predict how you’ll repay a loan.3
❖ Income
Lenders need to verify that you have enough income to repay your loan. They may ask for details
about your employment and income. They may also look at your current debt to make sure that adding a
loan payment won’t consume too much of your monthly income.

Mortgage Payments
Mortgage payments usually occur on a monthly basis and consist of four main parts:
2. Interest- The interest is the monthly percentage added to each mortgage payment.
3. Taxes- In most cases, mortgage payments will include the property tax the individual
must pay as a homeowner.
The most common type of home loan is the fixed-rate mortgage, which requires a borrower to repay
the principal over a "fixed term" (an unchanging length of time) with a "fixed rate" (an interest rate that never
fluctuates over that time period).
Unlike a fixed-rate mortgage with its static interest rates, adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) have
variable interest rates that can move up or down over the course of the loan.
A cross between a fixed-rate mortgage and an ARM, the hybrid mortgage offers a fixed rate for a set
term (usually fewer than 10 years) and then allows the interest rate to adjust up or down much like an ARM
loan would.
