How a Onaka personal loan is priced

In Onaka, a small community of about 15, the amount is advanced up front and repaid in fixed installments; the city's size does not change the pricing. Two numbers drive a Onaka 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 Onaka loan but raises total interest, so the smallest payment is not the cheapest loan.
