How to use this table
- Compare APRs, not interest rates: the APR includes the origination fee, which some lenders take out of the money you receive.
- Check your rate with a soft credit check where the lender offers one: it does not affect your credit score.
- A longer term lowers the monthly payment but raises the total interest you pay.
Before you rely on it
- The ranges are the lenders’ advertised ones; your offer depends on your credit, income and the loan’s purpose.
- Rates move with the market: the date each row was checked is in the sources.
