How does Achieve Personal Loans work?

Achieve is an online company that provides quick and easy personal loans. Achieve strives to offer loans that are:

  • Simple, with one fixed monthly payment
  • Personal, with customer service that cares
  • Fast, with same-day loan decisions
  • Clear, with no confusing terms or agreements
  • Smart, as a practical option to meeting your financial needs

The eligibility requirements for an Achieve personal loan are simple and don’t rely entirely on your credit score. The basic requirements for an Achieve loan include:

  • A valid ID
  • A verified income
  • A bank account
  • A minimum credit score of 620

To find out if you qualify for an Achieve personal loan, fill out the company's short online application. You receive a loan decision in as little as a day and could receive funds within 48 hours. One of Achieve's loan professionals contacts you to work out the details of your loan.

Once you’ve qualified for a loan, you can manage your terms and payments and check your loan status through your Achieve login.

What types of loans does Achieve offer?

Achieve loan amounts start at $5,000, but you could be eligible for up to $40,000 depending on your qualifications and the state you live in. Loan term lengths range from two to five years. Achieve allows customers to use loans for multiple purposes, including:

  • Weddings
  • Home improvement projects
  • Large purchases
  • Debt consolidation
  • Medical expenses

It’s important to note that Achieve Personal Loans isn’t available in every state, and the minimum loan amount varies in some areas.

StateMinimum loan amount
Arizona$10,500
Ohio$5,500
Georgia$3,500

What fees does Achieve charge?

Achieve charges a one-time origination fee on its loans, which is a percentage taken out of the total loan amount. This percentage can be anywhere from 1.99% to 6.99%. There are zero early repayment fees, so you can pay back your loan in full anytime after the first payment.

The annual percentage rate (APR) of your loan varies based on your overall creditworthiness. Instead of basing your APR solely on your credit score, Achieve credit professionals consider your past reliability and other factors. Achieve APRs usually range from 7.99% to 35.99%.

Is Achieve Personal Loans worth it?

Achieve offers fast loans for every situation with amounts ranging from $5,000 to $50,000 and terms ranging from two to five years. The company doesn’t charge early repayment fees, so you’re able to pay off your loan early. If you’re in search of quick cash, Achieve online loans could be the right option for you.

They gave me a loan and they've been great so far. I lost my job in March and they've been very understanding about me paying. They've been putting me on hold until I start working. I started working on October 2nd and I paid half of it. I'll be paying my other half when I get paid again. They try to help you as much as they can. The application process was easy as well. The rep I worked with was great. He explained everything to me in detail and told me what I'd be expecting. Everything was no surprise to me. Their rate is a little steep, but I understand because my credit was bad and I'm trying to build it up until to get better.

    The process was very easy. It wasn't like most traditional loans where you have to submit a whole lot of paperwork. And it's very easy to see everything on the website, including what your payoff is. It reminds you when your next payment is and gives you the option if you wanna have it auto paid just as long as you have it in the account by the processing date. Also, all of their reps were very professional. There were a couple of times that I was out sick and I didn't have the leave time so I was in a no-pay status. I knew my check was gonna be short around the time that the loan was gonna come out of my account so I called and asked if I could push it back and they were always very accommodating to assist with that.

    Achieve really helped me when I needed a loan. The application process was easy. It was like a yes or no question. They asked me all the questions and I answered. When I spoke to them and I finished all the questions, it took less than two days and they were able to tell me if we got approved or not. They were able to reach back to me within a couple of days. With the first loan that I got from them, the rate was lower. I wish I got a lower rate for the second loan. When you pay off the first loan, they should take into consideration that the person has paid the loan and never been late, and then lower the rate for the second loan. Other than that, I had a good experience with them.

    They're very on time. They don't discriminate. They're very keen on everything. If you don't understand anything or have any questions, they're always following up with you. I love them dearly. Once I paid them off, I won't be putting myself in that situation again. But if anything comes up, I know I can reach out to Achieve and they'll always be there for me.

    The rep who we worked with at Achieve Personal Loans was great and he really made the process very simple. He worked very well for us. From the time I first searched online, we got an answer in a couple of days. Then, from the time that I first spoke to the rep and we submitted an application, it was approved within 24 hours. And it was funded within a week. And most of that was me getting all the information to them so they could fund it, which was very simple to do. I'm pretty tech-savvy but he walked me through exactly everything I needed to do to get it set up. So, the process was very straightforward.

    The interest rate is ripping your fingernails out high, especially with our credit score, but that's the way these kinds of loans work and I understand that. I couldn't do any better. I also contacted them once to change the pay date and that was a five-minute phone call. I got right through to the customer service rep and within five minutes, they changed the pay date. We were very happy with the process and we haven't had any problems at all. I'd recommend for others to contact them.

    Achieve Loans was passed down from a credit debt relief with a bank. They told me on the phone it’s a cheaper interest rate on my money (cheaper payment), so, I said, “Yeah.” It was all done by the other bank, registered from wherever it come from. They just swapped paperwork, and I didn't have to do anything. It didn't take very long too. Now, Achieve Loans collects payment every month. They just bank draft it, and I save money. I'm retired and living on a fixed income, so I have to watch my p's and q's. When things get more expensive, it's much higher. The payments might be harder to do in the future.

    I was able to speak with somebody from Achieve who was really nice, and he got me in there fast. I got a personal loan for my moving cost. The loan process was easy. I just had to write a quick letter explaining what I needed it for. I had a really good experience. It made it easier for me to move in, and it gave me a place to stay. I was working with really good people and it was super fast. The fund was there in a blink of an eye. It's easy to pay and it's easy to talk to someone if there's ever an issue.

    I had a recent deal when I called to change stuff over and the girl didn't hit the button that said, "Don't take it out of my bank account." It messed up my whole account. I'm getting penalized for it because I had to change the one to the end of the loan because it messed my account up so bad. After I pay them off, I won't do business again. Other than that, it's been a good experience. Everybody makes mistakes. I like Achieve. It's a good company. They do good business. I talked to a lot of good people along the way and they have great customer service.

    I wanted to pay off some credit cards, so I applied and I got the loan. Everything was straightforward and professional. They explained everything properly to me and exactly what they said they're going to do is what I got. I started to get scared at one time but they were very nice and walked through it with me. Also, the rep called me back to find out if I got the loan and if I was satisfied with what I got. He told me to get back in touch if I have a problem.
