How borrowing works locally

Disclosure requirements mean the cost of borrowing must be stated before an agreement is signed.

A shorter term raises each payment and lowers the total interest, which is the trade every schedule makes. A secured product gives the lender a claim on a named asset, which is why its price is usually lower than an unsecured equivalent.

The Alberta rules that apply
