Frequently asked questions
What is APR?
The annual percentage rate — the yearly cost of a loan including interest and fees, expressed as a rate. It's always at or above the nominal rate.
APR vs interest rate?
The interest rate is the cost of borrowing the principal; APR adds fees and points, so it reflects the loan's true annual cost.
