Variable-rate borrowing can be unpredictable, with rates potentially jumping from 6% to 22% in a short time frame.​ This volatility makes financial planning difficult and exposes borrowers to significant risk.​

SmartCredit.​io offers an alternative with:

  • Fixed interest rates
  • Fixed loan terms
  • Predictable payments
  • 1:1 loan structure

These features allow borrowers to plan their finances with confidence, avoiding the uncertainty of pool-based lending where rates fluctuate based on other users' actions.​
