What a Randall borrower is actually offered

Most loans made to Randall's 154 residents are unsecured, so nothing is pledged and the lender relies on your credit history. Two numbers drive a Randall 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 Randall loan but raises total interest, so the smallest payment is not the cheapest loan.
