What is a good intrest rate for a personal loan?
I took out a personal loan from a credit union for $4000. The intrest rate is 9.9% and I have 5 years to pay it back. Did I get a good deal? My credit is in excellent condition, I have never been late on a bill and I have one student loan bill already pain in full.
You have a good rate, this is signature loan? Meaning no colloidal, not backed by house or car title? You need to step up the payments as much as possible, 5 years is too long to take to pay back this loan.
You should be able to put $1,000 a year in the savings account after all you bills are paid. This is minimum, you should be trying to put $500 a month in the saving account on a regular basic.
Good Luck

can I get a personal loan with a libor rate?
I've read a little bit on here about what the LIBOR rate is, but nobody has specified why you would prefer a LIBOR rate, and whether or not I have a choice. Do student loans come with a libor rate? Basically, what started this whole search was how do I find the best personal loan rate for myself? I can't use Federal, etc, because I've already been down that road, so I am purely looking for personal loan rates, please. I somehow believe LIBOR is tied into this somehow, and am wondering if I should be looking for personal student loan with a low LIBOR spread.
Well, the LIBOR is the rate at which banks lend to each other, so looking for this rate specifically when you're trying to find a personal loan won't be very helpful.
In your situation, the best thing to do is work out how much you'll need, and what you want the repayment terms to be. Once you know this, you can start doing research of various lenders to determine which one offers the best rates on the loan you want. When you've found the one with the lowest rate, you can go about applying for it.
How do I calculate what is a fair interest rate to apply to a personal loan?
Is 10% a fair rate to apply to a personal loan originating in the U.S. ? How about if it originated internationally?
In the US, the prime is 8.25%. The rates right now for any lending in the US is pretty bad because of our economy. Check http://www.bloomberg.com for more info on rates and exchanges nationally and internationally. But 10% in the us is pretty good. Rates are between 7-22% right now, depending on reserves you have (stocks and savings) and credit rating. A credit union will ususally have a lower rate, though. If it's an auto loan, shop the dealers for finance specials, and if you own a home, a home equity (HELOC) is the best way to finance anything (besides cash), because the rates are usually lower.
Where can I get a personal loan for a very low ineterest rate?
I want to get a personal loan for about $5000.00 and want a low interest rate. The banks are around 12%, which is too much for me to pay back a month. Does anyone have any suggestions?
The only place I could even imagaine that would give you a lower interest rate than that for an unsecured loan would be family or friends. Banks, credit unions, etc. are,at the minumum,11.50% for A credit with established credit. Good luck.
Unsecured personal loans do not have any risk since you are not pledging any asset. But you pay more interest due to higher interest rate, short repayment time and rigid terms and conditions. If you are a tenant or homeowner who does not want to take the risk with your property, choose this type of loan.
Where can I get a low fixed interest rate personal loan to pay off my variable private student loan?
US Bank traditionally has some of the best rates for what you are looking for. however, if you do not have good, established credit, you will have trouble qualifying for the program. But why pay off your student loans anyway...they are usually going to have better rates than any personal loan in the world...they are for students. just keep em, pay them off later.
start working hard so that you can pay off your loans!
but if you're still that lazy, go check with banks.
and it seems you're just as lazy to do that that's why you asked this.
*sigh*

what is the annual percentage rate for a personal loan through american general financing?
I was wondering if a loan through american general financing is worth it or putting in on a regular credit card with a 15.99 interest rate and paying more than half off each month
the interest rate depends largely on your credit history/ score. it also depends on what you are getting a loan for. it could very well be higher than 15.99. i know the state maximum in KY for a car is 23.9%
