Inside a Southside personal loan

A Southside personal loan is an installment loan: a lump sum, then fixed monthly payments over a set term, priced off your credit rather than its 4,271 residents. Because pricing is borrower-level, two people in Southside can be quoted different APRs on the same amount and term. A longer term lowers the monthly payment on a Southside loan but raises total interest, so the smallest payment is not the cheapest loan.
