What shapes a Northwood personal loan

A Northwood personal loan is an installment loan: a lump sum, then fixed monthly payments over a set term, priced off your credit rather than its 950 residents. Because pricing is borrower-level, two people in Northwood can be quoted different APRs on the same amount and term. Because the payment is fixed, the total cost of a Northwood loan is knowable in advance — unlike a revolving card balance.
