Debt Consolidation Loan

What's a Debt
Consolidation Loan?

A debt consolidation loan combines multiple debts into a single loan with one monthly payment, making it easier to manage and potentially lowering your interest rate.

What is it for?

For example, if you’re juggling payments on a credit card, a car loan, and a medical bill, a debt consolidation loan can roll them into one, making it easier to budget and stay on top of payments.

How it works?

When you get approved for the loan, you pay out with the received funds the remaining debts in one lump sum, lowering the amount you would have paid in interest in the longer run. You then need to only repay the debt consolidation loan which is much easier to track and handle than multiple creditors with different payments dates.

With a Debt Consolidation Loan, you can combine different types of debt, including credit card balances, personal loans, lines of credit, and other high-interest debts.

A Debt Consolidation Loan can help you save money by reducing the interest you pay on high-interest debts like credit cards. Instead of juggling multiple payments, you’ll have one fixed payment, often at a lower interest rate, making it easier to pay off your debt faster. Plus, with a clear repayment schedule, you avoid extra fees from missed or late payments.

Yes, you can still use your credit cards after consolidating debt, but it’s important to manage them wisely. Keeping balances low and making payments on time will help you avoid falling back into debt.

The repayment period for a Debt Consolidation Loan typically ranges from 1 to 5 years, depending on the loan amount and your financial situation. A longer term can lower your monthly payments, while a shorter term helps you pay off the loan faster with less interest.
