Example of How Much You Can Save By Paying Off a RISE Personal Loan Early
Situation: A $2,500 loan with a repayment period of 12 months, an APR of 120% and an origination fee of 0%.
Normal Payments: You will spend approximately $1,903 on interest.
Early Pay Off: If you pay off the loan in 6 months, you will save about $959 on interest.

Keep in mind that RISE will look at more than just your credit score when evaluating your application for a personal loan. RISE will consider your entire financial profile, including things like your income, existing debts and recent credit inquiries, when deciding whether to approve you.
If you're unsure of what your current credit score is, you can check it for free on WalletHub. You can also pre-qualify for a RISE personal loan online to gauge your chances of getting approved with your current credit score.
You can get RISE personal loan pre-approval through the RISE website. RISE pre-approval allows you to see your odds of approval for a personal loan from RISE, as well as your potential interest rate, and the process will have no impact on your credit score.
Enter your name, Social Security number, email, mobile phone number, and direct mail/invitation code (optional).
Click Continue.
Once you receive your RISE pre-approval status, you can choose whether or not to actually submit an application. Getting pre-approved does not mean you're guaranteed to be approved if you apply, but your approval odds will be very high.
If you want to consider more options first, you can try out WalletHub's free personal loan pre-approval tool, which checks for pre-approval with multiple personal loan providers at the same time.
