FAQ

A vacation loan is simply a personal loan used to cover travel-related expenses. It usually provides you with a lump sum of money that needs to be repaid in fixed installments over a set period, usually up to 60 months.

Typical funding time is the next business day after approval. However, you may receive the money on the day you apply if you finalize your loan before 10:30 am on a banking day.

Our lending partners look beyond your credit and set no minimum credit score requirements. Personal loans are available to borrowers with bad or no credit as long as they can prove their ability to repay.

Taking out a personal loan to finance a vacation may be a good idea if you face a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a time-sensitive offer at a great discount, or an emergency, unavoidable travel. However, it's important to budget for repayment and understand the risks of rising total costs and long-term debt that stays with you long after you get back home – nationally, 41.8% of families already behind on a loan or mortgage payment carry a personal installment loan.2

Loans available through 1F Cash Advance allow you to get between $500 and $10,000, depending on the loan type, your credit, income, state, and the lender you work with.
