What a Milledgeville borrower is actually offered

A Milledgeville personal loan is an installment loan: a lump sum, then fixed monthly payments over a set term, priced off your credit rather than its 16,486 residents. Two numbers drive a Milledgeville loan: the APR, which includes fees, and the term, which decides how long you keep paying. A longer term lowers the monthly payment on a Milledgeville loan but raises total interest, so the smallest payment is not the cheapest loan.
