However, if you don\u2019t have good credit, expect to face higher interest rates and origination fees. These combine to create your annual percentage rate (APR), and it can approach credit card levels, with even reputable lenders capping rates at 35.99%.<\/p>\n<p>If you have an urgent need, these loans can be useful based on their funding speed. Just be wary of the interest costs. While 35.99% is a far cry from the triple-digit surcharge on payday loans, it\u2019s still expensive debt to own. As always, choosing the shortest term you can afford will lessen the toll of interest.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A creditworthy cosigner or co-borrower can help you qualify for a lower interest rate. Just be aware that your cosigner or co-borrower will be negatively affected if you don\u2019t repay the debt on time.
