Can I draw more money from my Personal Loan?
A Personal Loan has a one-time draw, meaning the funds are distributed to the borrower once, so you cannot draw additional funds from an existing Personal Loan.
If you want the flexibility to draw funds as needed, consider applying for an account with a Revolving Line of Credit, like a Personal Line of Credit, Home Equity Line of Credit, or a Credit Card.
