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.

What You Need for a Personal Loan
The request may take a few minutes. Here's what most Virginia 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 Virginia Insights
Market Insight: Virginia
Virginia's average personal loan APR for prime borrowers aligns with the national median (11-12%). Unlike in neighboring states, Virginia has fewer rate caps on loans over $2,500, leading to more competition and wider rate variance. Comparing multiple offers is critical.
Borrower Protection
Protections are enforced by the State Corporation Commission's Bureau of Financial Institutions (BFI). The BFI licenses all consumer lenders and handles complaints. Verify any lender at scc.virginia.gov, as unlicensed lending is illegal in the state.

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
In Virginia, a competitive APR for a personal loan depends on your FICO score. Borrowers with scores of 720+ often see rates from 7% to 14%. Those in the 640-719 range might expect 15% to 25% APR, while scores below 640 could result in rates from 26% to 36%. Since Virginia does not cap APRs on loans over $2,500, your final rate is based on your credit profile and the lender's underwriting criteria.
Yes, obtaining a personal loan in Virginia with a FICO score below 620 is possible. Many lenders assess your application by looking at your income stability, employment history, and debt-to-income ratio (DTI) in addition to your credit score. A DTI under 40% and a steady, verifiable income improve approval odds. Be aware that loans for lower credit scores usually have higher APRs, so comparing several offers is wise. A cosigner with a better credit history may also help you secure a lower rate.
The vast majority of personal installment loans in Virginia have a fixed interest rate. This ensures your monthly payment remains constant throughout the loan's term, from 24 to 84 months, simplifying your budget. You know the precise amount due each month and the final payoff date. While variable-rate personal loans are rare for this product, always confirm the rate type in your loan agreement before signing.
Virginia has no state-mandated minimum credit score for personal loans. Most online lenders set their own floor, typically a FICO score between 500 and 520. Below 500, unsecured loan options become scarce, making secured loans (backed by collateral) or credit-builder loans from Virginia CDFIs more viable. A FICO score over 580 significantly improves your chances for a lower APR.
Yes, personal loans in Virginia are unsecured and can be used for any purpose, as lenders do not restrict the use of funds. Common applications include home improvements, medical bills, debt consolidation, and wedding expenses. A personal loan is different from a home equity loan because it does not require your property as collateral. For large projects, a home equity loan might offer a lower APR, but a personal loan provides faster funding. It is wise to compare both options for home improvement financing.
An unsecured personal loan requires no collateral and is repaid in fixed monthly installments. In practice, through BroMoney the process unfolds in four steps: (1) you complete one online form in about 5 minutes, (2) BroMoney matches your profile against its network of 1,200+ licensed lenders using a soft inquiry — a credit check that does not affect your FICO® score — (3) you review the offers returned and select one, (4) the chosen lender originates and funds the loan — typically within 1–3 business days, depending on the lender and your bank's processing schedule. The lender — not BroMoney — sets the APR (Annual Percentage Rate), loan amount, and repayment term, which vary by lender and state law. The final credit decision is subject to that lender's review criteria.
