How borrowing works locally

Variable-rate products move with a reference rate, while fixed-rate products set the price for a defined term.

A revolving product charges interest on the outstanding balance, while an instalment product charges a fixed schedule of payments. A shorter term raises each payment and lowers the total interest, which is the trade every schedule makes.
