Start with the product, then look at costs, local rules and repayment. You can use this resource centre without beginning an application.
Understand the borrowing decision
Treat a payday loan as a commitment against future income. A useful first question is what expense you need to cover and whether it is a one-time timing problem or a recurring shortage. A borrowing decision should account for both the next payment and the essential expenses due around it.
Follow a learning path
- Read how payday loans work for the application-to-repayment sequence.
- Compare payday loans and instalment loans by amount, timing and total repayment.
- Understand APR versus the dollar cost before comparing offers.
- Check laws and borrower rights for the relevant jurisdiction.
Move from an explanation to a practical check
Use the application guide to prepare questions, then read the repayment guide before accepting an offer. If a payment is already becoming difficult, go directly to repayment problems and help.
