Personify Rate Reduction: Pay On Time, Pay Less
Most high-cost loans keep the same rate until the last payment. Personify's falls by 2 points every six months you pay on time. Here are the exact rules.
off your rate each time
of on-time payments
never goes lower
How the rate steps down
Example: a 36-month loan that starts at 100% APR, with every payment on time.
1 – 6
7 – 12
13 – 18
19 – 24
25 – 30
31 – 36
Each step trims roughly $20 of yearly interest for every $1,000 you still owe.
The rules that matter
Who qualifies
Loans with an APR above 29.99% and a term longer than six months. That covers nearly every Personify loan.
What counts as on time
The payment must be received on the due date. A payment that arrives the day after does not count.
When the new rate starts
The day after your last qualifying on-time payment. It is automatic. There is nothing to claim.
If you pay late
You keep every reduction already earned, because they are permanent. The six-month count simply starts again.
How many payments make six months?
| Your schedule | On-time payments needed per step |
|---|---|
| Monthly | 6 |
| Semi-monthly | 12 |
| Bi-weekly | 13 |
Four ways to never miss a payment
- Turn on autopay. The payment leaves your account on the due date without you lifting a finger.
- Match the due date to payday. Bi-weekly and semi-monthly schedules are designed for this.
- Keep a one-payment cushion. A small buffer in your checking account stops a bounced payment.
- Call before you are late. If a payment is at risk, contact your servicer first. Options are wider before the due date than after it.
Helpful, but not a reason to borrow
Two points off a triple-digit rate is welcome, yet the loan is still expensive. Paying early saves far more than waiting for the next step down, and Personify charges no prepayment fee.
