The Cost of Credit -- Facts You Need To Know!
Payday loans are short-term advances that are due on your next payday, unless your next payday is 4 or less days away from your loan date. In this case your loan will be due on your second payday. The maximum loan term is 16 days.
With a payday loan you are charged a flat fee no matter when your loan is repaid (subject to the 16 day maximum loan term). Because the fees are fixed per loan amount, the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) will vary depending on the number of days that pass between the date you receive your advance and the day you repay the loan. There is no refund of fees for early repayment.
Although payday loans are short-term advances intended to be paid off quickly, various Truth-in-Lending laws require financing disclosures to be expressed as an Annual Percentage Rate (APR), or the cost of the credit advanced to you expressed as an annual rate. This requirement provides uniformity among various credit sources, so you can compare rates and make the choice that is right for you.
To get your disclosure, use the form below to select the amount you will be borrowing and the number of days you plan to have the loan. The term of the loan begins when the funds arrive in your bank account, so when selecting the Number of Days, make sure to subtract appropriate time for your loan request and fund-disbursement processing (usually 1 to 3 days), which will need to occur before you actually receive your advance.
The following table provides examples of the cost to obtain a payday loan . The APRs are based on example loan terms of one payment ("Check Amount") due in 16, 14, and 7 days. The APR will increase if the actual loan term is shorter than these examples.
