What Can Personal Loans Be Used For?

 

For Consolidating Debt

 

If you're paying high interest rates on multiple credit cards, a vehicle loan, or other types of debt, Personal Loans can help you streamline your payments into one monthly bill and possibly lower your interest rate.

For Home Renovations

 

Sometimes the unexpected happens. Whether you need to upgrade a broken appliance, fix your roof, or replace an A/C unit, a Personal Loan could be a good solution.

 

For Car Expenses

 

Car expenses can add up quickly. Whether you’re purchasing a new vehicle, in the market for new winter tires or finally addressing that “check engine light” that’s been on. A Personal Loan may be the way to go if you’re short on cash.

 

For Your Travels

 

If you dream of traveling, Personal Loans can help you fund your next great adventure. Be spontaneous and see the world knowing that American Express can help turn your travel dreams into a reality.

 

For Your Education

 

Whether you need money for classes, or just extra cash to cover books, a new laptop, housing costs, or other school expenses, feel more confident about investing in your education with American Express.

 


What are the advantages of an American Express Personal Loan?

Quick access to funds

 

Funds are deposited into the bank account of your choice within 1-3 business days.

Competitive APRs

 

Personal loans offer personalized APRs and the rate is fixed for the life of the loan.

No impact to your credit score when you apply3

 

Because you are a trusted Cardmember, we already know you so there is no need to check your credit score when you apply. 

No collateral required

 

American Express Personal Loans are unsecured, so there’s no collateral or security required, unlike a home and car loan.

Enhanced financial control

 

Predictable fixed monthly payments make it easier to plan your budget.

This assumes all payments are made on time and there is no prepayment of the loan. Actual obligations will vary depending on the rate applicable to you as well as the timing of your payments. If you are invited to apply and a solicitation is sent to you, the actual applicable rate of interest will be disclosed at that time.

2 The pre-approved offer is extended to you based on the credit, financial and personal information we have about you at the time the offer is made, as well as your estimated income based on all such information. Your application will be subject to income and identity confirmation, and American Express reserves the right to withdraw this offer or decline your application if: (i) one or more of your accounts with us are not in good standing; (ii) bankruptcy or similar proceedings have been initiated; or (iii) your debt to income level (based on the income you provided in your application and the debts reported to us) is too high to support the loan amount requested. This offer is not transferable and is void if another American Express Personal Loan has been approved and accepted by you. We may have evaluated this offer using an automated system. Offer may be changed at any time. American Express Personal Loans are currently not available in Quebec and Nova Scotia.

 

3 Your credit score will not be impacted when you apply for this loan. However, if you are approved and agree to the terms of the loan, we will provide information about your loan to credit reporting agencies. This may impact your credit score, just as any credit product would.
