Inside a Posen personal loan

A Posen personal loan is an installment loan: a lump sum, then fixed monthly payments over a set term, priced off your credit rather than its 5,334 residents. Two numbers drive a Posen loan: the APR, which includes fees, and the term, which decides how long you keep paying. Shortening the term on a Posen loan raises the monthly payment but cuts the interest; lengthening it does the reverse.
