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.

"Bad credit" is a range, not a verdict. A borrower with a credit score of 620 has meaningfully different options than one with a credit score of 520 – and a personal loan from a bank can still be an option for many borrowers in the fair credit range (580–669). Before you decide anything, check your rate in seconds with no impact to your credit score.1,4 If you're not yet in the qualifying range, credit monitoring tools can help you track the progress that matters most.
