There are special loans for veterans, and they are offered through the Department of Veterans Affairs for very specific purposes. For example, you can get a VA loan to buy a home, refinance existing loans, tap into your home equity or borrow against your life insurance. But if these loans aren't good options for you, you will likely want to go with a regular personal loan instead.

Personal Loans for Veterans
There aren't any personal loans that offer special discounts to veterans, unfortunately. However, there are personal loan providers that have a military affiliation in general, such as USAA, PenFed Credit Union and Navy Federal Credit Union. All three of these lenders require membership before applying for a loan, and veterans can join for free. They offer worthwhile personal loans, as well.
But you should also consider the many lenders without a military association, which may end up fitting your needs better. You can check out WalletHub's editors' picks for the best personal loans for veterans to learn more.
In addition, if you want ongoing borrowing power instead of a one-time loan, you can consider some of the best military credit cards.
