Costs Involved with Short Term Loans
Since the APRs associated with the loan are higher than those associated with other forms of consumer credit, these loans have the potential to become expensive. Most of the time, consumers will pay an average of 20% of the total loan amount in the form of fees and interest. However, these rates can fluctuate a great deal and are set by the individual lenders and depend on state regulations. For more information about the average costs associated with short term loans, please see our Rate and Fees page and follow the links to the resources regarding short-term lending industry.
