What a Tarrant borrower is actually offered

Tarrant is a small town of about 5,833 people, and the personal loans written here are mostly unsecured — no collateral, so the lender leans on your credit file. Because pricing is borrower-level, two people in Tarrant can be quoted different APRs on the same amount and term. A longer term lowers the monthly payment on a Tarrant loan but raises total interest, so the smallest payment is not the cheapest loan.
