Last Updated June 8, 2023less than a minute read

Generally, interest and other payments received in a Notes account are taxable, but tax treatment and reporting depend on your account type. Retirement accounts, such as an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) or Roth IRA, are generally tax-deferred.

Soft Pull vs. Hard Pull: What's the Difference in a Credit Check?

A soft pull is a background look at your credit file that doesn't affect your credit score, while a hard pull is tied to an actual credit application and can affect your score. At Happen Bank, when you check your rate for a personal loan, you generate a soft pull – a hard pull only appears if and when a loan is issued to you. This means you can compare rates without your credit score taking a hit each time you look.

Personal loan vs. balance transfer for paying off credit card debt

The best debt consolidation loan is the one that costs you the least after accounting for fees, pays off your creditors efficiently, and gets funds to you when you need them. Both personal loans and balance transfer options can reduce the interest you pay on credit card debt. But they work differently. A balance transfer card typically offers a low introductory APR that reverts to a standard rate, while a personal loan offers a fixed APR for the full term. If you can pay off the balance fast enough, a balance transfer card may cost less. The right choice depends on how much you owe, how quickly you can pay it down, and whether you want certainty.
