LightStream by Truist

Best for: Fast, unsecured funding — best for partial or smaller projects

Partial financing
ProductUnsecured pool / home-improvement loan
Loan size$5,000 – $100,000
TermsUp to 20 years
Example rateResearched ~7.24% – 20.94% APR with AutoPay

Potential benefits

  • Fast, unsecured funding for strong-credit borrowers.
  • No home collateral required.
  • Simple, fully online experience.
  • Funds paid directly to you — pay the builder like cash.

Consider carefully

  • Published cap is about $100,000 — not enough for a full luxury pool alone.
  • Best rates require excellent credit.
  • Rates rise sharply for lower credit tiers.
  • Higher-priced than most secured/equity loans at the top of the range.
Example on a $250,000 pool

At 7.24% APR over 20 years, financing works out to roughly ~$0.79 per $100 monthly — but the cap is about $100,000, so LightStream cannot fund a full $250,000 pool on its own. Great for partial or gap funding.

How the process works

  1. Apply online with LightStream.
  2. Qualified borrowers get an instant credit decision.
  3. Funds are deposited to your bank account.
  4. Use it for part of the project or pair it with other funding.

Example Payments on a $250,000 Pool

Rough planning examples assuming principal-and-interest only — no taxes, insurance, or lender fees. Actual rates and payments are set by your lender.

ScenarioExample rate / termEst. monthly on $250kNotes
Frost secured home-improvement 6.97% / 15 yr ~$2,243/mo Lower rate, shorter term, higher payment.
Frost secured home-improvement 7.11% / 20 yr ~$1,955/mo Solid bank / equity-style option.
Regions home-equity loan 6.75% / 20 yr ~$1,901/mo Depends heavily on credit, equity, and property.
HFS pool financing 7.80% / 30 yr ~$1,800/mo Longer term lowers payment but raises total interest.
Lyon pool financing 8.49% / 30 yr ~$1,921/mo Pool-specific with staged-funding support.
LightStream 7.24% / 20 yr N/A for full $250k Cap is about $100,000 — partial financing only.

Takeaway: 30-year pool lenders can bring a $250,000 project closer to $1,800–$1,925/month, while 15–20 year bank or equity loans may price better on rate but often land closer to $1,900–$2,250/month. Longer terms lower the monthly payment but increase total interest paid.
