Easy process
Verified borrowerI have no idea what others are talking about when expressing their displeasure with USAA's personal loan application process. I believe that USAA considers everything when determining a decision on a loan. I have checking, savings, credit cards, direct deposit, auto loan, auto insurance, renters insurance and life insurance with USAA. I applied for a personal loan for 20k and was initially declined. I wasn't behind on any payments but I did have high balances on my credit cards. I ended up applying for a loan through Lending Club which is a new type of lending programs out there. I got approved for 20k with an 18% interest. I used that to pay down all my credit cards and reduce my debt to income ratio. Apparently it worked. I appled just today for a 32k loan and was instantly approved with an 11% interest which it pretty darn good. I plan on using those funds to pay off that Lending Club loan which I havent even made a payment on. Everyone on here just needs to quit complaining and expect to be approved just because theyve been a member for X amount of years or they think they have a good credit score. NEWSFLASH: Lenders dont just look at scores. They look at that plus income, debt to income ratio, time at job, time at address, etc. Ya'll need to know how to work your credit profile in your favor before you begin applying and successfully getting approvals.
