Personal Loans FAQs

Have Questions? We’ve Got You Covered

What is the benefit of obtaining a personal loan?

A personal loan gives you freedom and flexibility. It can help you pay down high-interest debt, handle unexpected expenses, or finance meaningful purchases without relying on credit cards. One key benefit of obtaining a personal loan is knowing your funds are safe and your rates are predictable.

What rates does Vocal offer on personal loans?

We offer a fixed rate as low as 10.99% APR for up to 60 months.* That means your rate won’t change, and your payments stay predictable throughout the life of the loan. It’s a smart, stable option for planned or unexpected expenses.
