With rising interest rates and soaring inflation, many Americans are looking for the fastest and most effective ways to consolidate high-interest debt and get access to low-interest funds they can use for home-improvement or other life projects. Guaranteed Rate's new Personal Loans solve those needs in record time. These loans offer low rates (starting at 5.74% APR*), a super-simple online application that takes a few minutes, and flexible repayment options from 1 to 5 years.

"Personal Loans are a really smart way for customers to reduce the cost of high-interest credit card debt or to help finance unexpected purchases," said Anand Cavale, Guaranteed Rate's Executive Vice President and Head of Unsecured Lending Products.
