What Is a Short-term Loan?

A short-term loan is a loan with a short repayment period, typically one to three years. It’s usually unsecured, meaning you don’t need to pledge any collateral to borrow it. Instead, a lender will review your credit and income when evaluating your application. Short-term loans may come in smaller amounts than long-term loans, which may have repayment periods of five to seven years. However, a short-term loan may come with a lower interest rate than its long-term counterpart. You can use these funds for almost any purpose, including debt consolidation, home renovation, medical bills, wedding expenses, and more. The loan may have a few restrictions, though—for instance, you often can’t use a personal loan to pay for education expenses.
