Let’s say that you need money quickly, urgently, and unexpectedly.

We offer fast and affordable loans for any reasonable purpose, and we make it easy to pre-qualify online or visit our conveniently located branches in Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and Texas.



But a question we often get is, "How long does it take to get a personal loan?" especially if money is needed right away for an emergency


How Long Does a Loan Take to Get Approved?



We have made our loan application process as straightforward as possible so you can get the money you need without hassle or delay. To get the process moving quickly, fill out our online application. You can choose your closest branch location and click the “Apply Now” button to input your personal information.




Once you submit your application, the local Service Loan South branch or an affiliate will contact you within 1 hour. We’re that fast to get money in your hands ASAP! After we approve your loan and you’ve submitted the required documents, we’ll start transferring the money to your account by direct deposit.




How Long Does a Personal Loan Take to Pay Off?



The amount of time it takes to pay off a personal loan depends upon the loan amount you were approved for, what your monthly payments are, and if you can make your payments on a regular schedule. You can use a loan payoff calculator to estimate how much your monthly payments will be based on the borrowed amount, interest rate, credit score, loan terms, and other factors. There are potential advantages and disadvantages to paying off a loan early.
