Who makes Maine personal loans

Traditionally, only banks and credit unions made Maine personal loans but in the past few years, new players have been entering the space. Improvements in data capture, access, and technology has driven many of these changes. Some of these lenders are focused on specific credit profiles, others are focused on online lending, and others are focused on process efficiencies. The increased competition brings borrowers more options and possibly more better rates.

When considering Maine personal loans

Determine if you really need a loan. These loans typically make sense only as part of a balanced personal finance plan and can be a valuable tool to consolidate debt helping to bring down total interest payments. If instead, they increase financial strain it is generally worth considering other options to borrowing money.

If a personal loan is right for you it is a good idea to shop around. Rates and payments can vary by lender. Once you get a feel for rates and payments it makes sense to see how these additional payments fit into your budget. You may also consider other borrowing options like getting a secured loan like a home equity loan. These loans are often significantly cheaper but can be more complicated to get because there is collateral involved.
