These figures are disclosed upfront — there are no hidden origination fees, no prepayment penalties in most cases, and no automatic rollovers that create an unaffordable debt cycle.

3Eligibility and What Lenders Look For
To qualify for personal loans through PrimeLendings in South Carolina, you generally need to be at least 18 years old, a resident of South Carolina, have a verifiable monthly income source (employment, self-employment, benefits, or gig earnings), and hold an active checking account in good standing. Bad credit, no credit history, and prior loan defaults do not automatically disqualify you — many lenders in our network make approval decisions based on income verification rather than credit score alone.
