Is a Payday Loan the right solution for you?

  • Payday Loans are designed to meet unexpected short-term cash needs.
  • Payday Loans are an excellent alternative to bounced cheques or late payments, if used wisely.
  • When used responsibly a Payday Loan can be both convenient and economical.
  • Payday Loans should not be used as a revolving credit tool for long-term needs.
  • If your financial needs are not short term or temporary a Payday Loan may not be the right choice and you may wish to consider consulting with a credit counselor.

Before taking out a Payday Loan you should consider the following:

  • Are there less expensive alternatives available to me?
  • What is the exact amount I need to borrow?
  • Am I only borrowing what I need?
  • Can I easily repay what I borrowed on my next payday?
