Your top 5 questions about loan interest answered

Interest rate depends on many factors. Ultimately, banks determine your loan interest based on your risk factor. The more it seems like there is a bigger risk in lending someone their money, the higher the interest will be. On the other hand, borrowers with higher credit scores tend to get lower interest on their loans.

No, APR or Annual Percentage Rate is the total cost of your loan. This includes interest and other fees that come with borrowing money like disbursement fees, etc. Both interest and APR can give you an idea of how much your loan would cost. Interest will tell you how much you pay each month while the APR tells you the total cost of the loan throughout the tenure.

Yes, but that won't let you see the bigger picture. A more efficient way to compare loan offers is through APR. This way, you can factor in the other costs that come with your loan and see which lender offers the loan at a lower cost.
