A practical checklist for Marcus borrowers

Complete these steps first when you borrow in Marcus (1,060 residents):

1. Get all three reports, dispute anything wrong, and keep the corrected file for your applications.
2. Run the numbers on the personal loan calculator so you know the payment before you apply.
3. Line up several pre-qualified offers and let the APR decide.
4. Make sure the lender appears in the Iowa regulator's licence list.
5. Weigh a shorter term's higher payment against the interest it saves.
6. Keep the amount to the expense; an approval is not a reason to take more.
7. Decide the purpose and how you will repay it before approaching any lender.

The process is identical across Iowa; what changes is your credit file, not the fact that Marcus holds 1,060 people.
