What is a fixed personal loan?

A fixed personal loan provides you a lump sum of money that is repaid with interest through monthly payment amounts that won’t change. Personal loans can be used for a variety of reasons such as consolidating higher interest loans, home improvements, consolidating credit card debt, paying for events like weddings or funerals, paying for unexpected emergencies or even vacations. Personal loans can offer an alternative to credit cards with predictable monthly payments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most loans are approved right away or within a business day, depending on the amount being financed and your overall credit and situation.

Your credit does not have to be perfect to qualify, but you should be aware of your credit score and the factors that can affect it. Visit our Financial Wellness Center for more information about credit scores.

We will need some form of identification, your name, address, employer information.

Call or email a member service representative at firsttechlending@firsttechfed.com. If you apply online you'll get an email with detailed information about next steps and how to check the status of your loan.

Securing a loan with bad credit is not impossible. We have a full range of products to offer to all credit types. We will work with you to understand your unique situation.

As long as you do not miss any payments and your loan is paid in full by the time indicated by the terms of the agreement, a personal loan could improve your credit score overall. Different factors, such as the amount of loans you have compared to your income, can have different effects on your score. Visit our Financial Wellness Center for more information about credit scores.

Credit unions are member-owned, not-for-profit institutions, meaning that profits go toward lower loan rates and higher interest for members. Because of this, credit unions can often offer lower interest rates and low or no fees on personal loans.

You can use the funds from a personal loan to invest in legal enterprises, including the stock market and other investment options. However, some investments are not insured and can lose money. Regardless of the outcome of the investment, the personal loan would still need to be paid back in full according to the terms of the loan.

Some lenders charge a fee called a pre-payment penalty if you pay off the loan before the end of the term. First Tech does not charge a prepayment penalty. You can pay off the loan as soon as you are able.

First Tech offers fixed personal loan terms of 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, and 80 months. Most lenders offer a 60 month term so that would mean you’d have 60 monthly payments of the same amount to pay off the loan.
