Inside a Helper personal loan

Most loans made to Helper's 2,126 residents are unsecured, so nothing is pledged and the lender relies on your credit history. Two numbers drive a Helper loan: the APR, which includes fees, and the term, which decides how long you keep paying. Because the payment is fixed, the total cost of a Helper loan is knowable in advance — unlike a revolving card balance.
