• ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE
  
  Also known as A.P.R. the Annual Percentage Rate is the cost of your credit expressed in terms of an annual rate. The A.P.R. takes into account "points" or "closing costs" that may be included in your loan amount and is often higher than your interest rate for this reason.
