Quick answer: A 24-month personal loan term can pay off faster than longer terms, but the monthly payment is usually higher at the same amount and APR.
When a 24-month term may fit
A shorter term may fit borrowers who can comfortably handle a higher payment and want to reduce time in debt.
Example tradeoff
For the same amount and APR, 24 months usually costs less total interest than 36, 48, or 60 months, but requires a larger payment.
