Credit Direct at a Glance
Best for
Best For?
Credit Direct Loans appeal to people who want to borrow money for any reason, but don’t want to borrow against their home, car, or other assets.
Credit Direct’s fast, simple online application process is good for borrowers who don’t want to meet face-to-face with a lender or apply online.
Borrowers who are still building a credit score may consider Credit Direct, because they consider more than a credit score (such as a consistent income) when borrowers apply for a loan. This increases your chances of being approved.

Whether you need to consolidate credit card debt, plan a wedding, remodel your kitchen, or borrow money for almost any other reason, you may qualify for a personal loan from Credit Direct.
Credit Direct loans offer these features:
- Personal loans available with no collateral
- Rates competitive with other personal loan lenders
- Loan terms from 12 - 60 months, depending on the size of the loan and other factors

APRs, Loan Amounts & Repayment Terms
Credit Direct offers personal loans from $1,000 to $40,000. The loan length may be from 12 to 60 months, depending on your financial situation and how much you borrow. Interest rates start at 4.99% and go up to 29.99%.
The better your credit score and financial picture, the more money you can borrow, and the less interest expense you will pay.
Personal loans generally carry higher interest rates than secured loans, such as home equity loans or car loans. However, they are a far better deal than payday loans, which can charge an APR several times as high.
Credit Direct does not charge any fees other than interest paid on the loan. Your monthly payment does not change over the life of the loan, and there is no penalty for paying off the loan early.
