Payment deferral

How does it work?

Become current after making 3 consecutive standard monthly payments or the equivalent within 3 consecutive months. The amount past due will be delayed to the end of the loan term.

This could be a good option if you're behind on past payments, but can make your standard monthly payments going forward.

Short term assistance

How does it work?

Temporarily make lower payments that will gradually increase in the last 3 months of the program to return to your standard monthly payment amount. The amount past due will be delayed to the end of the loan term. Then your account will become current.

This may be the right option for you if you've had a temporary change in your financial situation.

Long term assistance

How does it work?

Make lower payments by extending your loan term, plus become current after program enrollment.

If you're experiencing a long-term hardship, this option may work for you.

Your APR will be between x and x based on creditworthiness at time of application for amounts between $2,500-$40,000 and loan terms of x-x months. For example, if you get approved for a $15,000 loan at 12.99% APR for a term of 72 months, you'll pay just $301 per month.

You must have a minimum individual or household annual income of $25,000, be over 18 years of age, and have a valid US SSN to be considered for a Discover personal loan. Loan approval is subject to confirmation that your income, debt-to-income ratio, credit history and application information meet all requirements.

Our lowest rates are available to consumers with the best credit. Many factors are used to determine your rate, such as your credit history, application information and the term you select. State restrictions may apply.

For debt consolidation, even with a lower interest rate or lower monthly payment, paying debt over a longer period of time may result in the payment of more in interest. A Discover personal loan is intended for personal use and cannot be used to directly pay any Capital One account (including any Discover or Capital One credit card), secured loan, or post-secondary education loan or expense.

If your application is approved, we will send funds after you accept the loan. Your bank or creditor may take more days to process the funds.

After you check your rate, if you move forward with an application for a new Discover personal loan, you will need to consent to a hard credit inquiry that will appear on your credit report.
