What a Fort Yukon borrower is actually offered

In Fort Yukon, a small community of about 411, the amount is advanced up front and repaid in fixed installments; the city's size does not change the pricing. The APR tracks your credit score rather than Fort Yukon's rank of 72nd in Alaska: 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 Fort Yukon loan but raises total interest, so the smallest payment is not the cheapest loan.
