Unsecured Personal Loans: Borrow Without Collateral

No collateral required. Competitive fixed rates based on your credit profile.

A C&F Bank unsecured personal loan provides a lump sum from $1,000 to $25,000 with a fixed interest rate and predictable monthly payments. No collateral is required — approval is based on your credit history, income and debt-to-income ratio. Terms range from 12 to 60 months, giving you flexibility to choose a payment that fits your budget.

Common uses include home improvements, medical expenses, wedding costs, moving expenses and major appliance purchases. Because the rate is fixed, your monthly payment never changes over the life of the loan, making budgeting straightforward. There are no prepayment penalties, so you can pay off the loan early and save on interest without any fees.

Your C&F Bank loan officer reviews every application personally. This means they can consider context that automated systems miss — a recent job change to a higher-paying position, seasonal income fluctuations, or a strong banking relationship with C&F Bank. Local underwriting is one of the core advantages of borrowing from a Virginia community bank rather than an online lender.

  • $1,000 to $25,000 loan amounts
  • Fixed APR — payment never changes
  • 12 to 60-month terms
  • No collateral required
  • No prepayment penalty
  • Approval typically within 48 hours
  • Funding within the same week
  • Manage payments via CFFC online banking
  • Automatic payment from C&F Bank checking for rate discount

Secured Personal Loans: Lower Rates with Collateral

Pledge a savings account, CD or other asset to unlock our lowest personal loan rates.

If you have funds in a C&F Bank deposit account or another qualifying asset, a secured personal loan lets you borrow at a significantly lower rate than an unsecured loan. Your collateral remains in your account earning interest while the loan is outstanding — you simply cannot withdraw the pledged amount until the loan is repaid.

Secured loans are available from $1,000 to $50,000 with terms up to 72 months. The higher loan ceiling and longer term make secured loans suitable for larger expenses: major home renovations, boat purchases, investment property down payments or consolidating higher-rate debt into a single low-rate payment.

Borrowers who pledge a C&F Bank CD as collateral enjoy the lowest available rates because the bank's risk is minimal. Your CD continues to earn its guaranteed interest rate while simultaneously serving as loan collateral — a strategy that effectively lets you access your CD funds without breaking the certificate and triggering early withdrawal penalties.

Secured Loan Advantages

  • Lower fixed APR than unsecured loans
  • $1,000 to $50,000 loan amounts
  • Terms up to 72 months
  • Collateral earns interest while pledged
  • Acceptable collateral: savings, CDs, money market, vehicles, other assets
  • No prepayment penalty
  • Same-week funding
  • Ideal for borrowing against CDs without early withdrawal penalties

Personal Lines of Credit and Debt Consolidation

Revolving access for ongoing needs, or a single fixed payment to simplify your financial life.

Personal Line of Credit

A C&F Bank personal line of credit provides revolving access to $2,500 to $35,000 at a variable rate. Draw funds when you need them, repay at your pace (subject to minimum payments) and borrow again without reapplying. This product works well as an ongoing financial safety net or for expenses that occur in phases, like a home renovation project with multiple contractor payments spread over several months.

Your line of credit can also serve as overdraft protection for your C&F Bank checking account, automatically advancing funds to cover shortfalls. Interest accrues only on the amount you have drawn, not on the full credit line. Manage draws and repayments through CFFC online banking or the mobile app.

Debt Consolidation Loan

Carrying multiple high-interest debts — credit cards, medical bills, store financing — costs more and creates complexity. A C&F Bank debt consolidation loan combines those balances into a single fixed-rate payment. You often reduce your total monthly obligation and always simplify your finances from multiple due dates and creditors to one predictable payment.

Amounts range from $2,500 to $50,000 with terms from 24 to 72 months. Secured consolidation (backed by a deposit account or asset) qualifies for lower rates. Your C&F Bank loan officer will review your existing debts, calculate your total interest savings and recommend the optimal term. As required by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, you will receive a full disclosure of terms before closing.

How to Apply for a C&F Bank Personal Loan

A straightforward process with a local loan officer guiding you from application to funding.

What You Need

  • Valid government-issued photo ID
  • Social Security number
  • Proof of income (recent pay stubs, W-2s or tax returns)
  • List of monthly debts and obligations
  • For secured loans: documentation of collateral (account statements, vehicle title, etc.)

Visit any of our 30 Virginia branches or call 804-843-2360 to start your application. Your loan officer will review your information, provide a preliminary rate quote and outline next steps. Most applications receive a decision within 24 to 48 hours.

After Approval

Once approved, you review and sign loan documents at your branch or through a secure electronic signing process. Funds are typically deposited into your C&F Bank account within the same week — often within one to two business days of signing.

Manage your loan payments through CFFC online banking. Set up automatic payments from your checking account for convenience and to qualify for a rate discount on eligible products. View your outstanding balance, payment history and payoff amount anytime through the online portal or mobile app. C&F Bank sends payment reminders by email or push notification so you never miss a due date.
