How a Worth personal loan is priced

A Worth personal loan is an installment loan: a lump sum, then fixed monthly payments over a set term, priced off your credit rather than its 10,494 residents. Because pricing is borrower-level, two people in Worth can be quoted different APRs on the same amount and term. Shortening the term on a Worth loan raises the monthly payment but cuts the interest; lengthening it does the reverse.
