How it works
Personal loans are typically unsecured, meaning you don't need to provide collateral like a home or car. The interest rate you receive is heavily influenced by your credit history and current market conditions.
- Fixed installments: Most personal loans come with a fixed interest rate, ensuring your monthly payments stay the same throughout the term.
- APR vs. Interest Rate: The APR (Annual Percentage Rate) includes both the interest rate and any mandatory fees, representing the true annual cost of borrowing.
- Repayment Terms: Loan durations typically range from 1 to 7 years. Choosing a longer term lowers your monthly payment but increases the total interest paid.
