From emergency plumbing repairs to planned kitchen upgrades — finance home projects from $500 to $5,000 with fixed installment payments and no collateral.
Start Your Home ProjectYour home is where your life happens — and when something breaks or needs upgrading, you can't always wait until you've saved enough to cover it. A burst pipe doesn't care that it's the middle of the month. A failed HVAC system in July or January isn't optional. And sometimes, a planned renovation — new flooring, a kitchen refresh, or energy-efficient upgrades — can improve your quality of life and even increase your property value.
A home improvement loan from Patria Lending gives you $500 to $5,000 to handle home repairs and upgrades on your timeline. The loan is unsecured, meaning you don't need to put up your home as collateral — this is not a home equity loan or HELOC that puts your property at risk. Payments are fixed installments, giving you predictable monthly costs while you enjoy the improvements.
Whether it's an emergency repair that can't wait or a planned project you've been putting off, the application takes about five minutes online. Once approved and funded, you choose how to allocate the money — hire a contractor, buy materials, or pay for emergency service calls. Funds can reach your debit card in minutes or your bank account by the next business day.
From application to funding — four steps, entirely online.
Get an estimate for your repair or renovation. For emergencies, get a quote from a licensed contractor or service provider.
Request a personal loan for the project cost (up to $5,000). Application takes about five minutes from any device.
Once approved and after signing your agreement, funds are deposited to your debit card (minutes) or bank account (next business day).
Use the funds to pay contractors, buy materials, or handle emergency service calls. Make fixed payments on your loan until it's paid off.
