The anatomy of a Keota personal loan

A Keota personal loan is an installment loan: a lump sum, then fixed monthly payments over a set term, priced off your credit rather than its 893 residents. Federal Truth in Lending rules require a Keota lender to disclose the APR and finance charge before you sign. A longer term lowers the monthly payment on a Keota loan but raises total interest, so the smallest payment is not the cheapest loan.
