The anatomy of a Mission personal loan

Most loans made to Mission's 1,142 residents are unsecured, so nothing is pledged and the lender relies on your credit history. Two numbers drive a Mission loan: the APR, which includes fees, and the term, which decides how long you keep paying. Shortening the term on a Mission loan raises the monthly payment but cuts the interest; lengthening it does the reverse.
