The anatomy of a Cimarron personal loan
A Cimarron personal loan is an installment loan: a lump sum, then fixed monthly payments over a set term, priced off your credit rather than its 789 residents. Because pricing is borrower-level, two people in Cimarron can be quoted different APRs on the same amount and term. Shortening the term on a Cimarron loan raises the monthly payment but cuts the interest; lengthening it does the reverse.
