How long does it take to get money from a Citizens One personal loan?

You can have 1-3 personal loans from the same lender at the same time, in most cases, depending on the lender. But there is no limit to how many personal loans you can have at once in total across multiple lenders. The number of loans you can have is really only limited by your income relative to your expenses, including existing debt obligations.... read full answer

Every loan application you submit will also temporarily lower your credit score, due to a hard inquiry on your credit report, potentially making it harder to get approved for the next loan you decide apply for. So the more loans you have open, the more difficult it will become to open any more.

Assuming you have good enough credit and income to get more than one personal loan, it’s helpful to know just how many of them different lenders will allow you to have at once. WalletHub reached out to some of the most popular personal loan providers to find out their policies.

How Many Personal Loans You Can Have at Once From One Lender:

All lenders also said there’s no maximum number of loans from other issuers that would prevent you from being considered for one of their loans. But naturally, the amount of debt you owe to those creditors will factor heavily into the decision. The more loans you have, the larger your existing debts will be and the more your income will be strained. At some point, you will clearly not have the capability to take on another loan and will be denied. For some people, this could be after a single loan. For others, it could be multiple loans.

Every time you apply for a loan, the lender will look at your credit history with a hard inquiry. That will cause a temporary dip in your credit score that can affect your credit standing for up to 12 months. So it’s really best to only apply for one personal loan each year maximum. If you want to apply for more, you may. But an applicant’s credit score is one of the factors most important to approval, so your odds will decrease.

Lastly, even if you can take out multiple loans, make sure you’re willing and able to manage them all responsibly. Missing payments can hurt your credit standing.

According to Woodforest's website, after applying for the unsecured loan you will receive an email notification that your application has been received and will be processed within 2 business days. If you are approved, you will receive a DocuSign email notification to review and sign the loan documentation. If you are not approved, you will receive a letter in the mail within 14 business days that will list the reasons behind your application being denied.

A quick loan is a loan that offers both approval and funding within a few days of application, as fast as the same day in some cases. In contrast, many personal loans take 7 business days or more to get approved and funded.

Much like all loans aren’t quick, not all quick loans are the same. There are several main types – personal loans, payday loans, auto title loans and pawn shop loans. But personal loans are the only quick loans that are really worth considering because the other types are too expensive.... read full answer

TYPES OF QUICK LOANS:

Personal Loans: It’s possible to get some personal loans as soon as the same day you apply, but usually it takes up to a week. A personal loan is an unsecured loan (meaning there’s no collateral) that you can use for anything. They usually last for 12 to 84 months, offer amounts of $1,000 to $100,000, and have APRs of 6% to 36%. Major personal loans set their credit score minimums at 585 or higher, and you’ll need a score of 660+ to avoid an origination fee.

Payday Loans: You can get a payday loan the same day you apply. A payday loan offers a small amount (usually less than $1,000), which you pay back from your next paycheck in 2 - 4 weeks. You’ll also owe a fee that is equal to having a very expensive APR, often over 400%. Payday loans may not require a credit check.

Auto Title Loans: You can get an auto title loan the same day you apply. Auto title loans are secured by your car, so if you can’t pay them back, the lender will take ownership of your vehicle. They let you borrow 25% to 50% of your car’s worth for 15 to 30 days, in return for finance charges totaling up to a quarter of what you borrow. Auto title loans may not require a credit check.

Pawn Shop Loans: Pawn shops don’t require you to apply and will give you money for your valuable items the same day. You won’t get the item’s full worth, only 20% to 60%. But if you pay that amount back within a certain number of months, along with 2% to 25% interest per month, you’ll get your item back. If not, the shop will sell it.

FINAL THOUGHTS

Another way people get quick loans is by borrowing from friends and family. To get a loan from an individual, you will have to agree upon the terms of lending, such as the APR and payoff timeline. You might be able to get money faster than by submitting an application with a traditional lender. But you should still take time to draw up an agreement and sign it.

Moving forward, you should also start building an emergency fund by setting aside some money each month. That way, you can give yourself a quick loan the next time unforeseen expenses come up.
