Question About a Personal Loan

[insomniatic]

<p>Unexpected expenses have been crawling up on me lately. I didn’t want to take a loan, but I might have to.</p>

<p>I checked out a Wells Fargo personal loan. They show how much you have to pay each month for a 12 month period.</p>

<p>It shows that the monthly payment for a $5,000 loan is $437.84 (which would come out to $5,254.08 for 12 months).</p>

<p>Is that the amount I would actually pay for the 12 month loan?</p>

• The fixed Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is a sample APR. The quoted APR assumes excellent borrower credit history and includes a 0.25% APR discount for automatic payment from a Wells Fargo Bank checking or savings account. The APR will increase by 0.25% if the automatic payment feature is not elected or is cancelled. Origination fees vary by state and range from $0 to $100."</p>
