A pre-application checklist for Cambridge

Before you apply in Cambridge, a community of about 1,796, work through these steps:

1. Check all three credit reports for mistakes, because an error you fix now is a lower rate later.
2. Price the payment first with our personal loan calculator before any lender quotes you.
3. Pre-qualify with three or more lenders, then compare the APR rather than the interest rate.
4. Verify the lender's New York licence with the regulator listed on this page.
5. Weigh a shorter term's higher payment against the interest it saves.
6. Borrow only what the purpose requires, not the maximum you are offered.
7. Decide the purpose and how you will repay it before approaching any lender.

What differs between Cambridge and the rest of New York is not the process but the borrower's own file, among the 1,796 people here.

What a Cambridge borrower is actually offered

A Cambridge personal loan is an installment loan: a lump sum, then fixed monthly payments over a set term, priced off your credit rather than its 1,796 residents. Two numbers drive a Cambridge 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 Cambridge loan but raises total interest, so the smallest payment is not the cheapest loan.
