Inside a Tuckahoe personal loan
In Tuckahoe, a small town of about 6,900, 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 Tuckahoe can be quoted different APRs on the same amount and term. A longer term lowers the monthly payment on a Tuckahoe loan but raises total interest, so the smallest payment is not the cheapest loan.
