Steps to take before a Standard loan

These steps shape the offer you get in Standard, a place of about 218 people:

1. Check all three credit reports for mistakes, because an error you fix now is a lower rate later.
2. Test your amount and term in the personal loan calculator first.
3. Gather at least three pre-qualified offers and line up the APR, not the headline rate.
4. Verify the lender's Illinois licence with the regulator listed on this page.
5. Write down the purpose of the loan and your repayment plan before you apply.
6. If the balances are already a strain, seek nonprofit credit counselling before adding a loan.
7. Read the disclosure for an origination fee and any prepayment penalty before signing.

None of these steps is Standard-specific: the same Illinois licensing and disclosure rules reach all 218 residents.
