Frequently Asked Questions
What is a personal loan used for?
Just about anything! From consolidating credit card debt and paying bills to covering big purchases, like vacations or weddings, and even unexpected expenses.
How fast can I get the money?
Pretty fast. Once you apply and are approved, funds are usually available the same day in just a few hours.Same-Day Funding: Final approval and credit decision timing may vary if additional documents are requested as part of the verification process. Funds are generally deposited the same business day via direct deposit to your Arkansas Federal account if verification is completed and final approval occurs before 3:00 PM on the days the credit union offices are open.
Is there really no fee to apply?
That’s right. We don’t charge application or origination fees.
How much can I borrow?
The amount you can borrow depends on a few things, like your credit history, income, and current debts. When you apply, we’ll review your full picture and let you know what amount you qualify for and what fits your budget.
Will my rate always stay the same?
Yes! Your loan comes with a fixed rate, so your monthly payment never changes—making it easy to budget.
Can I pay off my loan early?
Absolutely. And there’s no penalty if you do.
Is a personal loan better than a credit card?
It depends on your situation, but personal loans provide a lump sum dollar amount with fixed interest rates. That means your payments are the same every month with a set payoff date. Credit cards are revolving with variable interest rate. Monthly payments can vary, and there is not a set payoff date. Arkansas Federal is here to help you decide which one is right for you.
Do personal loans affect my credit score?
Yes, but in a positive way if managed well. A personal loan can help you build credit by adding installment history to your credit mix. Just remember that on-time payments are key.
