Why post-service borrowers start here

Most lenders did not know what to do with my VA disability compensation. Here, it counted as income and I could actually compare real offers.

Daniel P.

U.S. Army, Retired — Service-connected disability

I am on a fixed pension now. I wanted one predictable payment instead of three cards. The soft check let me look without touching my credit.

Rosa M.

U.S. Air Force, Retired E-8

Separated in 2023 and still rebuilding. They showed me what I could qualify for without the runaround other sites gave me.

U.S. Marine Corps Veteran

Common questions

Do lenders count VA disability or military retirement as income?Toggle
Often, yes. Lenders in this network may consider VA disability compensation, military retirement pay, and pension income when reviewing your options. Eligibility, rates, and amounts still depend on the lender and your overall credit profile — nothing is guaranteed.
Will checking my options affect my credit score?Toggle
No. Checking uses a soft credit pull, which does not affect your credit score. A hard inquiry only happens later if you choose to continue with a lender and submit a full application.
Is this a VA loan or a VA benefit?Toggle
No. After Service Loans is not a lender and is not affiliated with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Defense, or any government agency. These are unsecured personal loans from private lenders — not a VA loan, not a VA benefit, and not a substitute for any benefit you have earned.
Is this only for retired or disabled veterans?Toggle
No. It is built with post-service veterans in mind — separated, retired, and disabled — but any veteran can compare options. The focus is on lenders who understand veteran income, not on a single rank or status.
What can I use a personal loan for?Toggle
Common uses include consolidating debt into one payment, home and accessibility projects, medical or dental costs, and vehicles. You choose the purpose when you start.

Your actual APR depends on your credit score, income, and other factors. Only borrow what you can afford to repay.
