What a Millvale borrower is actually offered

With roughly 3,250 residents, Millvale is a small community; its personal loans are typically unsecured, priced from your credit rather than the city's size. Federal Truth in Lending rules require a Millvale lender to disclose the APR and finance charge before you sign.
