What Is a Personal Loan?

A personal loan is an unsecured loan that makes a few hundred to a few thousand dollars available to borrowers who need funding for an unexpected expense. Borrowers in Ohio who need a personal loan can turn to online lenders, banks, and credit unions to find a personal loan option that works well for them. 

There are a few different types of personal loans. When searching, you’ll find standard personal loans, which are unsecured, bad credit or no credit personal loans, secured personal loans that require collateral, and expense-specific personal loans. Regardless of the type, in most cases, personal loans are installment loans, which means they are repaid in steady monthly payments. CreditNinja recommends installment loans over single payment options, as repayment can be more manageable. 

What Are the Types of Personal Loans You Can Get in Ohio?

A few types of personal loans you could get include unsecured, secured, bad credit, no credit check, and expense-specific personal loans. Personal loan rates will vary based on your financial situation, loan type, and the lender you choose to go with. However, personal loans aren’t the only option for residents of Ohio. Below, we’ll go over some other loan options for residents of Ohio:

Bad Credit Loans

Bad credit loans are loan options for borrowers who have less-than-perfect credit. Personal loans can fall into this category. While these options may be flexible with credit requirements, it’s important to pay attention to the interest rates and repayment terms. 

Payday Loans

Payday loans are extremely short-term, high-cost borrowing options that are for borrowers who may not be able to access traditional financing options. While these may seem like the only option when you have poor credit, you should know that there are alternatives to payday loans. 

No Credit Check Loans

No credit check loans do not have a credit check as part of their application process. Like bad credit loans, a few different loan types can fall under this category, including some payday loans. While these loans may seem convenient, it’s important to understand that no credit checks also mean significant risk for the lender, and thus usually higher costs and shorter repayment for the borrower. 

Cash Advance Loans

Cash advance loans make a small amount of cash available for borrowers. The thing to look out for with these loans is that you may be paying a lot of money in interest for a small amount of cash, and you will likely have a matter of weeks to repay. Consider personal loan options in Ohio instead.
