What shapes a South English personal loan

In South English, a small community of about 199, the amount is advanced up front and repaid in fixed installments; the city's size does not change the pricing. Because pricing is borrower-level, two people in South English can be quoted different APRs on the same amount and term. A longer term lowers the monthly payment on a South English loan but raises total interest, so the smallest payment is not the cheapest loan.
