What is the loan APR?

The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is the annual rate charged for borrowing and is expressed as a percentage that represents the actual yearly cost of funds over the term of the loan. By law, the lender must show you the APR before you enter into loan agreement. Rates, loan size, among other variables will vary based on your credit worthiness with the lower rates potentially available to customers with excellent credit. Minimum and maximum loan amounts and APRs may vary according to state law and the lender. Because Holiday Dough is not a lender, we do not have control over the terms of your agreement. If approved for a loan, we recommend you read the lender's terms and conditions in full before accepting the loan.
