The anatomy of a Highland Falls personal loan

A Highland Falls personal loan is an installment loan: a lump sum, then fixed monthly payments over a set term, priced off your credit rather than its 3,647 residents. The APR tracks your credit score rather than Highland Falls's rank of 207th in New York: a strong file may earn a single-digit rate, while damaged credit can push the rate far higher. A longer term lowers the monthly payment on a Highland Falls loan but raises total interest, so the smallest payment is not the cheapest loan.
