What a Nehalem borrower is actually offered

A Nehalem personal loan is an installment loan: a lump sum, then fixed monthly payments over a set term, priced off your credit rather than its 273 residents. Because pricing is borrower-level, two people in Nehalem can be quoted different APRs on the same amount and term. Because the payment is fixed, the total cost of a Nehalem loan is knowable in advance — unlike a revolving card balance.
