PenFed loan approval

[Nikiamarie74]

Edit: Was initially pre approved for 20k, but took 5k as it was all that was needed!

Just applied and was approved for a PenFed personal loan of $5k for 48 months @Anonymous %

I was also prequalified for a U.S. bank loan same amount with slightly higher rate. 

I chose PenFed

Also called to see if I could use the pull for a cli on my PenFed PCR and was told it may be a separate HP so I declined to go through with it. My EX report was pulled and PenFed usually pulls EQ for me?

Congratulations on your personal loan with penfed. 16 % apr is pretty high. But, Congratulations!

Congratulations on your approval!

Congrats on your approval! Pay that loan off as soon as you possibly can.

[Nikiamarie74]

Absolutely will be paid off in the next few months!

Congrats on the approval!  If you pay it off in a few months, then the interest rate won't be so significant.  That's a good plan!

Congrats! And the double dip using one pull only works for two credit cards. As you said, they pull EQ for credit cards, but EX for loans.

I'm not sure what version other than it was an Experian pull
