How do I get a loan?

less than a minute read

Applying for a lending product is fast, easy, and confidential. Here’s what that process looks like from start to finish:

  1. Check your rate at happen.com. In just a few minutes, you can see what you qualify for without affecting your credit score.1

    Looking for a better rate? Adding a co-borrower could help. Learn more about joint applications.

  2. Choose your offer. You'll get multiple loan offers if you qualify, so choose the one that works best for you.

  3. Finish the online application. Confirm your information and review your To-Do List for any outstanding items.

  4. Hold tight while we review your application. Sign into your Member Center anytime to check on your loan’s progress.

  5. Get your cash. If your information is verified and your loan is funded, we'll deposit the money directly into your linked account. It may take a few days for the funds to reach your account, but keep in mind that interest will start to accrue as soon as the loan is issued.

    If you went with a balance transfer loan, we’ll pay your creditors and then deposit any additional funds into your linked bank account.

    For Personal Loans, APR ranges from 5.96% APR to 35.96% APR and origination/processing fee ranges from 0.00% to 8.00% of the loan amount. APRs and origination/processing fees are determined at the time of application. The lowest APR may be available to borrowers with excellent credit, subject to additional factors including, but not limited to, loan amount, loan term, and sufficient investor commitment. Advertised rates and fees are valid as of July 06, 2026, are subject to change without notice, and may not be available for all Personal Loan products and/or through all application channels or platforms.

    A representative example of payment terms for a Personal Loan is as follows: a borrower receives a loan of $15,262 for a term of 36 months, with an interest rate of 13.99% and a 6% origination fee of $916, for an APR of 18.40%. In this example, the borrower will receive $14,346 and will make 36 monthly payments of $522. Loan amounts range from $1,000 to $75,000 and loan term lengths range from 24 months to 84 months. Some amounts, rates, and term lengths may be unavailable in certain states, and may not be available for all Personal Loan products and/or through all application channels or platforms.
