Is my savings account FDIC insured?

A personal loan and credit card can be important financial tools, but it's important to understand how they each work before deciding which one to use. 

Simple interest is calculated only on the principal amount, while compound interest is calculated on the principal plus any accumulated interest. Due to the interest-on-interest effect, compound interest grows faster over time.

Debt-to-income ratio measures your monthly debt payments against your income. Improve it by paying down debts, increasing income, or avoiding new debt.

Someone might be declined a personal loan due to poor credit score, high debt-to-income ratio, or insufficient income. Next steps include improving credit, reducing debt, or applying with a co-signer. Consider checking your credit report for errors and exploring other lenders.

Need to fill gaps in your budget, cover a large expense, or pay down high-interest debt at a lower cost? Understanding how to take out a personal loan is the first step to securing the funds you need to cover temporary, short-term expenses.
