How can we help?

The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) shown is for a personal loan of at least $10,000, with a 3-year term and includes a relationship discount of 0.25%. Your actual APR may be higher than the rate shown.

At least 10% of the applicants approved for these terms qualified for the lowest rate available based on data from 01/01/2026 to 03/31/2026. The rates shown are as of 04/02/2026 and subject to change without notice. Your Annual Percentage Rate (APR) will be based on the amount of credit requested, loan term and your creditworthiness. The lowest rate available assumes excellent credit history.

On average, 97% of customers received their funds the day they signed for their personal loan. (Based on data from October – December 2025).

To qualify for a customer relationship discount, you must have a qualifying Wells Fargo consumer checking account and make automatic payments from a Wells Fargo deposit account. To learn which accounts qualify for the discount, please consult with a Wells Fargo banker or consult our FAQs. If automatic payments are canceled, for any reason at any time, after account opening, the interest rate and the corresponding monthly payment may increase. Only one relationship discount may be applied per application.

Representative example of repayment terms for an unsecured personal loan: For $15,000 borrowed over 36 months at 13.99% Annual Percentage Rate (APR), the monthly payment is $513. This example is an estimate only and assumes all payments are made on time.

Late fees may still be assessed.
