The anatomy of a Junction personal loan

Junction is a small community of about 53 people, and the personal loans written here are mostly unsecured — no collateral, so the lender leans on your credit file. The APR tracks your credit score rather than Junction's rank of 1,273rd in Illinois: a strong file may earn a single-digit rate, while damaged credit can push the rate far higher. Because the payment is fixed, the total cost of a Junction loan is knowable in advance — unlike a revolving card balance.
