What Is a Personal Loan?
A personal loan is a lump-sum installment loan, often $1,000 to $40,000, repaid in fixed monthly payments over a set term, usually two to seven years. The borrower gets the funds at once, then repays the amount borrowed plus interest until the balance is paid off. It's usually unsecured, meaning no collateral is required, and it's also called an unsecured installment loan. In plain terms, it can help you consolidate higher-interest debt or cover one larger planned cost.
Best forBorrowers consolidating debt or covering a planned expense, including less-than-perfect credit.
See your optionsFast Funding
Most Minnesota borrowers receive funds within 1 business day after lender approval - often faster with same-day ACH options.
Bad Credit OK
Lenders in the Bromoney network serve Minnesota applicants across the credit spectrum. Income and repayment ability matter more than a perfect score.
Trusted Lenders
Every lender in the network operates under a Minnesota Department of Commerce license, ensuring full compliance with state lending laws.
What You Need for a Personal Loan
The request may take a few minutes. Here's what most Minnesota lenders require before they can review your information and decide whether to offer credit.
Verifiable Income
A lender will want to see income you can verify, which may include wages, benefits, or another steady source. They'll also look at your credit profile and current debt load to judge whether the payment is realistic, so bad credit may be considered, but it can come with tougher terms.
Active Bank Account
You usually need an active bank account so funds can be sent and monthly payments can be handled under the loan terms. Before you choose, make sure that account can support the payment date without squeezing essentials.
Local Minnesota Insights
Market Insight: Minnesota
Minnesota's lending market is notably more regulated than neighboring Wisconsin and South Dakota, where rate caps are looser or absent. That regulation keeps consumer costs lower but narrows lender options - making a comparison platform like Bromoney especially valuable for finding competitive offers within state-compliant limits.
Borrower Protection
Minnesota borrowers are protected by the Minnesota Department of Commerce, which licenses and supervises all consumer lenders operating in the state. Consumers can file complaints, verify lender licenses, and access financial education resources directly at mn.gov/commerce. The department enforces the Minnesota Consumer Small Loan Act to prevent predatory lending practices.
Why Minnesota residents choose Bromoney
Bromoney matches Minnesota borrowers with lenders licensed under the Minnesota Consumer Small Loan Act (Minn. Stat. § 47.60), so every offer comes with rate and fee disclosures required by state law. One form, multiple competing offers, zero obligation to accept - borrowers keep full control of the decision.

Personal Loans vs. Alternatives
Balance-Transfer Credit Card
Moving card debt to a balance-transfer card can give you breathing room during a lower-APR intro period. The catch is structure. You're still using revolving credit, the APR can change after the promo ends, and there usually isn't a fixed payoff date unless you make one and stick with it.
- Revolving credit, so there's no built-in payoff date
- Lower intro APR period, then a variable APR may take over
- Often works for smaller balances you can repay within the promo window
Home Equity Loan / Secured Option
A home equity loan or another secured option may come with a lower cost because collateral backs the debt. That can help when you're borrowing for a major project, but your asset is on the line if payments aren't made, and the process can take more paperwork than an unsecured personal loan.
- Often lower APR than an unsecured personal loan
- Collateral is required, such as home equity
- More steps to complete, and the asset can be at risk
Credit Union & Local Options
A credit union personal loan or local nonprofit option can be worth a look, especially if you're already a member or want a lower-cost place to borrow close to home. Loan amounts, APR caps, and local rules change by state, so check your state page before you choose.
- Credit unions may offer lower APRs for members
- Community lenders and nonprofits may have local programs
- State rules can shape caps, amounts, and repayment details
Personal Loans by State
Personal Loans
Personal loans online don't work the same way in every state. Loan amounts, terms, APR, rate caps, and legal rules can change depending on where you live, whether you borrow to consolidate debt, cover a large expense, or compare options with bad credit.

Questions about this product
Under Minnesota law, small consumer loans are capped at $350 for short-term products. For installment personal loans from licensed lenders, amounts can reach $15,000 or more depending on the lender's license type and the borrower's creditworthiness. Always confirm the loan amount limit with your specific lender before applying.
Yes. Many lenders in the Bromoney network work with borrowers who have poor or limited credit history. Approval decisions often weigh income stability and debt-to-income ratio alongside credit score. A low score does not automatically disqualify an application.
Most direct lenders deposit funds via ACH transfer within 1 business day of approval. Some lenders offer same-day funding if the application is completed and approved before noon on a banking day. Timing depends on your bank's processing schedule.
Minnesota law prohibits rolling over or refinancing a short-term consumer loan into a new loan to extend the repayment period. Borrowers struggling to repay should contact their lender directly to discuss a payment plan or contact the Minnesota Department of Commerce for guidance.
An unsecured personal loan does not use collateral. With Bromoney, you complete the form and then review any options available to you in your account. If you choose to continue with a lender or partner, that lender or partner makes its own credit decision and sets the loan terms.
Lenders and partners use their own criteria when reviewing a consumer’s information. They may consider credit history, income, existing debts, the requested amount, and the repayment term. The factors considered and the terms offered can vary. The CFPB outlines common factors for personal installment loans.
