Understanding the interest rates on personal loans

Conditions: Market conditions at the time of application can impact the interest rate on a personal loan. For example, if you apply for a loan when the market is doing well and interest rates are low, you will be able to negotiate a lower interest rate than if you applied during a recession.

5. Loan amount: The amount of money borrowed also affects the interest rate charged on personal loans. Generally, higher loan amounts attract lower rates while smaller personal loans have high rates.

6. Lender: Different lenders charge different interest rates for their personal loans. However, some banks provide reduced interest rates to individuals with current accounts domiciled there or whose history of borrowing from them is impressive.

7. Personal creditworthiness is usually determined by lenders using credit score and analysis of your credit history that includes among other things bankruptcies or defaulted loans which act as deterrents to any lender willing to offer cash.

8. Term Length: The longer it takes for one to settle his/her intended payment in full, the larger he/she will end up paying more in terms of monthly repayment since interests accumulate over time just like snow does on rooftops during winter season.
