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. 

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.

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.

Getting approved for a personal loan faster can come down to preparation more than anything else. A complete application with accurate documents moves through the process quickly. An incomplete one creates delays.

You typically go through four stages during the personal loan process: checking your APR, submitting a full application, getting an approval decision, having the funds disbursed. The length of the process can be affected by the completeness of the application. Your preparation can have more influence on timing than you might think.
