The anatomy of a Deary personal loan
In Deary, a small community of about 523, the amount is advanced up front and repaid in fixed installments; the city's size does not change the pricing. Federal Truth in Lending rules require a Deary lender to disclose the APR and finance charge before you sign. A longer term lowers the monthly payment on a Deary loan but raises total interest, so the smallest payment is not the cheapest loan.
