Definition
The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) represents the true yearly cost of borrowing funds, expressed as a percentage. Unlike the standard interest rate, the APR includes both the interest expense and any fees or additional costs associated with the transaction.
Algorithmic Impact
A lower APR significantly reduces the total cost of capital over time. The InstantLoans.ai protocol algorithmically connects users with lenders offering highly competitive APRs based on credit profiling.
