Boro Personal Loans does not have or does not disclose a minimum annual income eligibility requirement. Boro Personal Loans will consider borrowers regardless of their employment status if they can prove their ability to repay their obligations.

The Military Lending Act (32 C.F.R. § 232) prohibits lenders from charging service members more than 36% APR on credit extended to covered borrowers. APRs for the Boro Personal Loans product fall outside of the MLA limits and as a result the product cannot be issued to these applicants. Active duty service members and their covered dependents are considered “covered borrowers" under the Military Lending Act.
