For $100 repaid in 12 monthly install- menis, the total interest cost is only $6.50, or less. There are no extra charges, just interest, Other lenders' rates may sound lower, but you usually pay more in dollars and cents. Forget the rate, and com- pare the actual cost, The credit union charges less, provides insurance, and helps you if you run into trouble.
