Inside a Bloomer personal loan
Bloomer is a small community of about 3,708 people, and the personal loans written here are mostly unsecured — no collateral, so the lender leans on your credit file. Because pricing is borrower-level, two people in Bloomer can be quoted different APRs on the same amount and term. A longer term lowers the monthly payment on a Bloomer loan but raises total interest, so the smallest payment is not the cheapest loan.
