If a lender charges an origination fee

Some lenders take a fee out of the loan before paying it to you. With a 5% fee on $25,000, the lender keeps $1,250 and you receive $23,750, but you repay the full $25,000 plus interest.

The fee raises the APR. A loan with a 14.9% interest rate over 36 months and a 5% fee has an APR of about 18.6%. If you need the full $25,000 in hand, you’d have to borrow about $26,316. Open the payment calculator to try a different fee.

Questions

Do I need excellent credit for $25,000?

Not always, but the APR you’re offered depends heavily on your credit. Lower scores usually mean a higher APR or a smaller amount.

Can I repay early?

Many lenders allow it without a fee, which cuts the interest you pay. Check the loan agreement for a prepayment fee before you sign.
