The anatomy of a Claremont personal loan

A Claremont personal loan is an installment loan: a lump sum, then fixed monthly payments over a set term, priced off your credit rather than its 160 residents. Two numbers drive a Claremont loan: the APR, which includes fees, and the term, which decides how long you keep paying. Because the payment is fixed, the total cost of a Claremont loan is knowable in advance — unlike a revolving card balance.
