How a personal loan works in Clearmont
A personal loan in Clearmont is an installment loan: you receive a lump sum and repay it in fixed monthly payments over a set term, usually two to seven years. Because the payment is fixed, the total cost is predictable up front — which is the main advantage over a credit card, where the balance revolves and the payoff date is open-ended. The two numbers that matter are the APR (which includes fees, not just interest) and the term. A longer term lowers the monthly payment but raises the total interest you pay.
