He would have to apply for the loan unless you have a power of attorney that states you can. $5000 is a lot of money, especially for a military family. I was in the military for a few years, and I know how tough it can be. Try to find a way to either use less money for the move (the military will pay for your relocation), or if you must get a loan, have him apply at a large national bank, and have the money put into an account at that bank. You then can withdraw the money from anywhere that bank is located.

I think it all comes down to your credit reports. If your scores are close or higher than 680, I would try a bank like Bank of America, Regions or Wachovia. I personally prefer credit Unions, if you belong to one I recomed talking to them. If not, I would try Citi-Financial or Beneficial (HSBC Financial). Also, if your husbank is in the Army, I would start by looking at USAA or some financial institution that deals with the military, they are used to this kind of request.

Take this time to get a job and save up the $5000.00 to move. Then you dont have to borrow the money. He will appreciate the support and won’t have to come back to that debt.
