Self Direct Loans is not a lender and does not make credit decisions. City Loans is a free loan-connection service that submits your request to third-party lenders; it is not a lender. Loan amounts, APR, rates, fees, and repayment terms are set by the lender and vary by lender and your qualifications. Not all applicants are approved, and funding times vary. Submitting a request is free and places you under no obligation.
