Inside a Nelson personal loan

Nelson is a small community of about 459 people, and the personal loans written here are mostly unsecured — no collateral, so the lender leans on your credit file. Two numbers drive a Nelson 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 Nelson loan but raises total interest, so the smallest payment is not the cheapest loan.
