The anatomy of a Courtland personal loan

Most loans made to Courtland's 588 residents are unsecured, so nothing is pledged and the lender relies on your credit history. Two numbers drive a Courtland loan: the APR, which includes fees, and the term, which decides how long you keep paying. A longer term lowers the monthly payment on a Courtland loan but raises total interest, so the smallest payment is not the cheapest loan.
