How a Lamar personal loan is priced

Lamar is a small community of about 25 people, and the personal loans written here are mostly unsecured — no collateral, so the lender leans on your credit file. Two numbers drive a Lamar loan: the APR, which includes fees, and the term, which decides how long you keep paying. Shortening the term on a Lamar loan raises the monthly payment but cuts the interest; lengthening it does the reverse.
