About this loan.
How is a 620 credit score different from a 580?+
Roughly 5-8 percentage points of APR difference for the same borrower profile. Many more lenders also compete at 620 vs 580. If you're sitting at 600 and can wait 60-90 days to reach 620 by paying down revolving balances, the savings on a multi-year loan often justify the wait.
What APR should I expect at 620?+
Most realistic offers at 620 sit in the 20% to 30% range, with the term and loan amount affecting where you fall. The strongest 620 applicants (stable income, low DTI, long banking history) can occasionally see the high teens.
How fast can I go from 620 to 660?+
Three to nine months is typical with focused effort. Biggest levers: paying down credit-card utilisation, disputing inaccurate negative items, and avoiding any new credit applications during the run-up.
Is it worth waiting to apply?+
Often yes. A 40-point score increase before applying can shift the APR by 5+ points, which on a $15,000 / 48-month loan saves around $1,800 in interest. If the borrowing need isn't urgent, waiting pays.
