Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between APR and interest rate?

APR (Annual Percentage Rate) is the total annual cost of borrowing, including fees and interest. The interest rate is the percentage charged on the loan amount. APR is typically higher than the interest rate because it includes additional costs.

How can I lower my loan interest rate?

To lower your loan interest rate, you can improve your credit score, shop around for lenders, consider refinancing, or negotiate with your current lender. A higher credit score and good financial history can qualify you for lower rates.

What happens if I miss a loan payment?

Missing a loan payment can result in late fees, higher interest charges, and potential damage to your credit score. It may also trigger a default if you fail to make payments for an extended period. Contact your lender immediately if you anticipate difficulty making payments.
