The anatomy of a Greenville personal loan

Most loans made to Greenville's 8,989 residents are unsecured, so nothing is pledged and the lender relies on your credit history. Federal Truth in Lending rules require a Greenville lender to disclose the APR and finance charge before you sign. A longer term lowers the monthly payment on a Greenville loan but raises total interest, so the smallest payment is not the cheapest loan.
