How a Mohawk personal loan is priced

A Mohawk personal loan is an installment loan: a lump sum, then fixed monthly payments over a set term, priced off your credit rather than its 2,378 residents. Federal Truth in Lending rules require a Mohawk lender to disclose the APR and finance charge before you sign. Shortening the term on a Mohawk loan raises the monthly payment but cuts the interest; lengthening it does the reverse.
