What is a fixed rate personal loan?

A fixed rate personal loan provides you a lump sum of money that is repaid with interest through monthly payment amounts that won’t change. Personal loans can be used for a variety of reasons such as consolidating higher interest loans, funding home improvements, consolidating credit card debt, paying for events like weddings or funerals, paying for unexpected emergencies or even vacations. Personal loans can offer an alternative to credit cards with predictable monthly payments.

A loan can actually help your credit—if managed responsibly.

When you make on-time payments and repay your loan according to the terms, it can positively impact your credit score. That’s because payment history is one of the most important factors in your credit profile.

However, your score may be affected by:

  • Your total outstanding debt
  • Your income-to-debt ratio
  • The number of recent credit inquiries

At First Tech, we’re committed to helping you build and maintain healthy credit. Whether you're applying for a personal, auto, or student loan, we offer flexible terms and competitive rates designed to support your financial goals.

Yes—personal loan funds can be used to invest in legal enterprises, including the stock market and other investment opportunities. However, it’s important to understand the risks involved.

Here’s what to keep in mind:

  • Investments are not guaranteed. Markets can fluctuate, and returns are never certain.
  • Loan repayment is required. Regardless of how your investment performs, you’re still responsible for repaying the loan according to its terms.
  • Interest costs matter. If your investment doesn’t outperform your loan’s interest rate, you could end up losing money.

At First Tech, we encourage members to make informed financial decisions. Our competitive rates, flexible terms, and financial wellness resources are here to support your goals—whether you're investing, consolidating debt, or funding a major purchase.
