5. Make sure the new payment leaves room in a budget you already keep.
6. Pick the shortest term whose payment you can comfortably afford.

How a Commerce personal loan is priced

A Commerce personal loan is an installment loan: a lump sum, then fixed monthly payments over a set term, priced off your credit rather than its 2,266 residents. The APR tracks your credit score rather than Commerce's rank of 134th in Oklahoma: a strong file may earn a single-digit rate, while damaged credit can push the rate far higher. A longer term lowers the monthly payment on a Commerce loan but raises total interest, so the smallest payment is not the cheapest loan.
