Frequently Asked Questions

What is a personal loan and how does it work?

When you take out a personal loan, you receive the loan amount as a lump sum. You’ll repay the loan through a set number of monthly payments, or ‘installments,’ over a period called the loan term. If consolidating debt, the lender may pay off your outstanding bills directly, depositing any remaining amount into your account.

What’s the difference between a personal vs. installment loan?

A personal loan and an installment loan are the same. You borrow a sum of money and repay it over time through fixed monthly payments, called installments. Common types of installment loans include mortgages, personal loans, debt consolidation loans, and car loans.

What’s the difference between revolving vs. installment credit?

Revolving credit, like credit cards or lines of credit, allows you to borrow up to a set limit, repay, and borrow again. Installment credit, such as personal or car loans, provides a lump sum that you repay in scheduled payments over a fixed period until the balance is fully paid.

What is the interest rate on a personal loan?

At Quick Givers, interest rates start at 19.99% for secured personal loans and 29.99% for unsecured personal loans. Homeowners can also consider mortgage refinancing with rates starting at 12.49%. Rates vary by province and depend on factors like credit score and borrowing history.

How long can I take to pay back a personal loan?

The repayment period, or loan term, ranges from 6–60 months for unsecured personal loans and car loans, and 36–120 months for secured personal loans.

Do personal loan interest rates and payments change?

Quick Givers’s personal loans have fixed interest rates and payments, ensuring a predictable schedule. However, adjustments to terms or loan renewals may change the interest rate or payment amount.

What’s the difference between a secured vs. unsecured loan?

A secured loan is backed by an asset (e.g., a house), allowing lower interest rates and higher borrowing limits (up to $60,000 at Quick Givers). An unsecured loan, backed only by a signed contract, has higher rates due to greater lender risk, with borrowing up to $25,000.

What can I use a personal loan for?

Personal loans from Quick Givers can be used to consolidate debt, cover unexpected expenses, manage home or auto repairs, or plan for events like weddings, vacations, or welcoming a new baby.

How do I pay off my creditors with a Quick Givers cheque?
