The anatomy of a Tilden personal loan

In Tilden, a small community of about 745, the amount is advanced up front and repaid in fixed installments; the city's size does not change the pricing. Because pricing is borrower-level, two people in Tilden can be quoted different APRs on the same amount and term. Shortening the term on a Tilden loan raises the monthly payment but cuts the interest; lengthening it does the reverse.
