Yes, personal loans verify income. In addition to the borrower’s credit, the other major component of personal loan approval is the borrower’s ability to repay. Therefore, most personal lenders will verify borrowers’ income, but the exact form of documentation varies based on their processes and your situation. To name the most common examples, your lender might ask to see a tax return, other tax documents like W-2s or 1099s, or a bank statement in order to verify your income.
