What a Doland borrower is actually offered

A Doland personal loan is an installment loan: a lump sum, then fixed monthly payments over a set term, priced off your credit rather than its 189 residents. A lender serving Doland's 189 residents must disclose the APR and finance charge in writing before you sign. Shortening the term on a Doland loan raises the monthly payment but cuts the interest; lengthening it does the reverse.
