The anatomy of a Berger personal loan

Most loans made to Berger's 259 residents are unsecured, so nothing is pledged and the lender relies on your credit history. Two numbers drive a Berger loan: the APR, which includes fees, and the term, which decides how long you keep paying. A longer term lowers the monthly payment on a Berger loan but raises total interest, so the smallest payment is not the cheapest loan.
