Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between interest rate and APR?

The interest rate is the cost of borrowing the principal, while APR includes the interest rate plus additional fees and costs, giving a more complete picture of the loan's true annual cost.

How does loan term affect the total interest paid?

Longer terms lower the monthly payment but increase total interest paid, since interest accrues for a longer period even if the rate stays the same.
