Inside a Riggins personal loan

A Riggins personal loan is an installment loan: a lump sum, then fixed monthly payments over a set term, priced off your credit rather than its 401 residents. Federal Truth in Lending rules require a Riggins lender to disclose the APR and finance charge before you sign. Shortening the term on a Riggins loan raises the monthly payment but cuts the interest; lengthening it does the reverse.
