How personal loans work in Union

In Union, a small community of about 594, the amount is advanced up front and repaid in fixed installments; the city's size does not change the pricing. Two numbers drive a Union loan: the APR, which includes fees, and the term, which decides how long you keep paying. Shortening the term on a Union loan raises the monthly payment but cuts the interest; lengthening it does the reverse.
