Frequently Asked Questions
Should I always choose the lowest interest rate?▼
Not always. A loan with a lower rate but higher fees may cost more overall. Compare the total cost (all payments + all fees) for the true comparison.
What is APR vs interest rate?▼
The interest rate is the cost of borrowing the principal. APR (Annual Percentage Rate) includes the interest rate plus fees and other costs, giving a more complete cost picture.
