The anatomy of a Fisk personal loan

Fisk is a small community of about 311 people, and the personal loans written here are mostly unsecured — no collateral, so the lender leans on your credit file. Two numbers drive a Fisk 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 Fisk loan but raises total interest, so the smallest payment is not the cheapest loan.
