Rates and Terms
APR (Annual Percentage Rate) at Fig Loans ranges from 35.99% to 199.00% depending on your creditworthiness, the loan amount you request, and the repayment term you choose. Your exact rate will be clearly disclosed before you accept any loan offer, so you always know exactly what you will pay. We believe in complete transparency with no hidden fees or surprise charges.
Fig Loans offers repayment terms ranging from 3 to 24 months. Shorter terms mean higher monthly payments but less total interest paid over the life of the loan. Longer terms mean lower monthly payments but more total interest paid. You can use our loan calculator to see how different terms affect your monthly payment and total cost before applying.

If you come into extra money or simply want to reduce your interest costs, you are free to make additional payments or pay off your entire balance early.

Payments
Payments are automatically withdrawn from the bank account you provided during your application on your scheduled payment dates. This automatic payment system ensures you never miss a payment and helps you build a positive payment history. You will receive reminders before each payment is processed. If you need to change your payment method or schedule, please contact our support team.
Your payment schedule is set up based on your pay dates to align with your income and make budgeting easier. Your specific payment due dates will be clearly outlined in your loan agreement. You will also receive payment reminders before each due date so you can ensure sufficient funds are available in your account.
If you are having difficulty making a payment, please contact our support team as soon as possible, ideally before the payment is due. We understand that unexpected circumstances can arise, and we may be able to work with you on options depending on your situation. The most important thing is to communicate with us proactively rather than missing a payment without notice.
Yes, Fig Loans reports your payment activity to all three major credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion.
