What a Canastota borrower is actually offered

Most loans made to Canastota's 4,462 residents are unsecured, so nothing is pledged and the lender relies on your credit history. The APR tracks your credit score rather than Canastota's rank of 184th in New York: a strong file may earn a single-digit rate, while damaged credit can push the rate far higher. Shortening the term on a Canastota loan raises the monthly payment but cuts the interest; lengthening it does the reverse.
