How personal loans work in Broadlands

A Broadlands personal loan is an installment loan: a lump sum, then fixed monthly payments over a set term, priced off your credit rather than its 303 residents. Federal Truth in Lending rules require a Broadlands lender to disclose the APR and finance charge before you sign. A longer term lowers the monthly payment on a Broadlands loan but raises total interest, so the smallest payment is not the cheapest loan.
