Frequently Asked Questions

A personal loan can give you greater financial flexibility and help you get the funds you need for nearly anything. A personal loan is unsecured, which means you don't have to put up anything for collateral, like your house or car. And unlike some other lenders, Wells Fargo does not charge origination fees, which can increase the cost of your loan. Plus, you can choose a payment term from 12 to 84 months, so you can find a monthly payment that fits your budget.

You can use a personal loan for just about anything. Make a major purchase, put funds toward home renovations, cover unexpected expenses, and much more.

Yes, you can purchase a car using a personal loan. However, an auto loan will usually offer a lower rate. Check with your dealer to see if they offer Wells Fargo auto loans.

No, you can't buy a house using a personal loan. But you can see your options for a mortgage through Wells Fargo, which is designed for the sole purpose of purchasing property.

How can we help?

Before you apply, we encourage you to carefully consider whether consolidating your existing debt is the right choice for you. Consolidating multiple debts means you will have a single payment monthly, but it may not reduce or pay your debt off sooner. The payment reduction may come from a lower interest rate, a longer loan term, or a combination of both. By extending the loan term, you may pay more in interest over the life of the loan. By understanding how consolidating your debt benefits you, you will be in a better position to decide if it is the right option for you. New credit accounts are subject to application, credit qualification, and income verification.

Representative example of repayment terms for an unsecured personal loan: For $16,000 borrowed over 36 months at 12.99% Annual Percentage Rate (APR), the monthly payment is $539. This example is an estimate only and assumes all payments are made on time.

Using an unsecured personal loan for an auto purchase, a refinance, or a lease buy-out allows you to avoid using your auto as collateral, although you may qualify for a lower interest rate with a secured auto loan.
