Here to make lending a little more personal. Learn more about the people and purpose behind Fig.

Our Vision

We’re guessing “getting a loan” isn’t high on your “things I really wanna do” list. 

So we made it as simple as possible: easy-to-understand terms, a straightforward application with an answer in under 10 minutes, and all done from the comfort of your couch/bus ride/kid’s soccer game.

Why we do what we do

Our commitment

Better rates

Lower rates than most credit cards so you can consolidate your high-interest credit stress-free. 

Better fees

The best kind of fees - zero account opening and annual fees. And, repay your loan at any time with zero penalties.

Better features

Get payment reminders, change your payment date, and even skip a payment with a simple self-serve Fig account.

Backed by great people doing great things

Fairstone has almost 100 years of lending experience allowing Fig to combine the best of both worlds - the agility and scrappiness of the start-up world and the experience, stability and resources of the corporate world.
