APR (annual percentage rate)

The yearly cost of a debt, in percent. It lets you compare debts honestly: a 24.99% APR card costs roughly five times what a 5% loan costs on the same balance. The sequencer uses your APR to place your debt in the order — debts at 10% APR or more are treated as expensive and jump the queue.

For your first $100: Tell the sequencer your highest APR truthfully. It is the one number that can move a debt ahead of investing in your order.
