FAQs about personal loans

How will I know what my monthly payment will be?

For a personal line of credit, you will receive a billing statement 25 days before the due date. The minimum payment will be 3% of the current balance or $25 – whichever is greater. For a signature loan, your payment will be fixed each month, and you’ll be able to see what it is before your loan is finalized.

Am I automatically signed up for overdraft protection on my checking account?

No, your personal line of credit is not automatically linked as Overdraft Protection. If you would like to have your personal line of credit linked to your checking account as Overdraft Protection, please visit a branch or call (602) 433-7000. Learn more about Overdraft Services and the differences between Overdraft Coverage and Overdraft Protection.

Do I need to have a checking account to have a personal line of credit?

You do not need to have a checking account with Desert Financial to take out a personal line of credit.
