Once approved, we’ll refinance your existing loan and send the extra cash straight to your bank account. Your previous loan will be paid off, and your credit bureau record will show it as successfully paid and closed in about 30 days. 

Maintain your credit
 
A TopUp loan could positively impact your credit down the road if you can show a history of on-time payments and a reduction in overall debt. 

These other situations may apply based on individual circumstances: 

  • If you have a current payment due, you should continue to make payments on your existing loan until your new TopUp loan is issued.  

  • If you’ve made any loan payments since accepting your offer, we’ll refund those payments.  

  • If you owe any late fees or outstanding payments on your previous loan, we’ll subtract that amount from your TopUp cash to cover the difference. 

We’ll refund the payment back to you using the payment method for your existing personal loan. For example, if you’ve been paying by electronic withdrawals from your bank account, Happen Bank will then electronically deposit any refunds owed to you.

The best home improvement loan depends on two things: how much equity you have and how quickly you need the funds. Homeowners with significant equity can access lower starting rates through a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) or home equity loan, but closing costs and appraisal fees may narrow that advantage on mid-size projects. An unsecured personal loan requires no equity, no appraisal, and can be funded in days1 – at a fixed rate that won't move over the life of the project. Happen Bank offers eligible applicants a 1% interest rate discount on personal loans used for home improvement.

The best personal loan rate in 2026 isn't the one with the lowest advertised interest rate: it's the one with the lowest APR, which includes additional finance charges. APR (Annual Percentage Rate) is the only apples-to-apples comparison figure because it includes both the interest rate and any origination fee.

A credit card consolidation loan replaces multiple high-interest card balances with a single fixed-rate personal loan – one monthly payment, one interest rate, and a defined payoff date. For borrowers carrying balances at 21.39% APR or higher, the interest savings are often substantial1. The math works for the same term when your consolidation loan APR is lower than your current weighted average card APR and the fixed monthly payment fits your budget.
