HOW DOES A LINE OF CREDIT WORK?
Unexpected expenses shouldn’t mean having to put life on pause. We have partnered with Fora to create the KOHO Line of Credit, so you can get access to a convenient and revolving source of money to handle whatever life throws at you.
Why use a Line of Credit?
- Emergency expenses like car repairs, childcare costs, vet appointments
- Cover the basics like groceries when other costs come up
DETAILS OF THE KOHO LINE OF CREDIT
Looking for a line of credit? There is a convenient and transparent alternative when traditional banks aren’t an option. Apply to get between $1,000-$15,000 with interest rates as low as 19.9%3.
The online application means skipping a trip to the store or branch.
Once approved, access your Line of Credit account on the same business day2, and manage it online at any time.
No late, annual, or origination fees—only pay interest on the amount of credit you use.
Applying to see if you qualify for a personal Line of Credit won’t impact your credit score.

FAQS
KOHO Line of Credit provided by Fora allows you to access money, repay it, and access again as needed from your available credit. If approved, you can access money up to a specific credit limit. You can use a line of credit for various reasons—home improvements, education costs, or any other unexpected expenses that may come your way.
Both a line of credit and a loan can help you get access to money you need quickly, and each option charges interest rates.
A personal loan lets you borrow a lump sum of money with a fixed interest rate. A line of credit offers you access to a credit limit that you can draw upon when you need money.
A line of credit, unlike personal loans offering a lump sum of cash, is a revolving credit account, which means you can continue to withdraw money as you repay it. You’ll incur interest on the amount you withdraw. You will need to make regular minimum payments which include accrued interest and a mandatory principal contribution.
A line of credit and credit card both provide you with revolving credit up to a pre-set limit, but in different formats, with different repayment terms and with other varying features.
