What is the origination fee?

An origination fee is a one-time fee deducted from your loan when it’s funded — not paid out of pocket. It helps us deliver the kind of experience you deserve: thoughtful service, U.S.-based support, and a team of professionals who handle every detail with care.

Our average origination fee is 4.35% for clients with very good credit and may be as low as 3.23% for those borrowing $40,000 or more. The maximum origination fee is 9.99%. The exact fee is based on your financial profile and the total amount you’d like to borrow. It will be clearly disclosed before you accept your loan.

At Rocket Loans, we’re committed to transparency. We disclose all fees associated with your loan up front. When other lenders advertise personal loans with no fees, it may mean they’re replacing fees with a higher rate in order to make that money back. This means a no-fee personal loan could potentially cost you more over time compared to a loan with modest fees and a lower rate.

How will a personal loan affect my credit?

When you check your rate and find out how much you prequalify for with Rocket Loans, we’ll run a soft credit pull with no risk to your credit score. If you decide to accept a loan offer, we’ll run a hard inquiry that can cause a small, temporary drop in your credit score (1 – 5 points).

Over time, there are many ways a personal loan can affect your credit, including positive improvement as you make on-time payments that reduce your total credit utilization.
