Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Payday loans have high fees that can equate to annual percentage rates, or APRs, of around 400%-much higher than personal loan APRs, which average around 10% to 11% for a 24-month term, according to the Federal Reserve.

Detailed explanation-2: -Because unsecured loans are not backed by collateral, they are riskier for lenders. As a result, these loans typically come with higher interest rates.

Detailed explanation-3: -Because lenders take on more risk when loans aren’t backed by collateral, they might charge higher interest rates and require good or excellent credit. If a borrower stops making payments and defaults on the unsecured loan, there’s no collateral for the lender to take to recover the outstanding debt.

Detailed explanation-4: -The range of the interest rate on any unsecured loan is between 10.99% to 32%. The borrowers can get the best interest rate based on their credit profile, income, employment and age.
