How a Monticello personal loan is priced

Two numbers drive a Monticello loan: the APR, which includes fees, and the term, which decides how long you keep paying. Shortening the term on a Monticello loan raises the monthly payment but cuts the interest; lengthening it does the reverse.

6. If debt is already a struggle, talk to a nonprofit credit counsellor before borrowing more.
