Understanding Payday Loans & Hardship Relief

What is a Payday Loan?

A payday loan is a short-term, unsecured loan designed to help individuals cover immediate expenses until their next paycheck. These funds are typically used for emergencies only, such as medical bills, urgent car repairs, or utility disconnect notices.

When to use Short-Term Funding

  • Preventing vehicle repossession
  • Urgent medical prescriptions
  • Critical home repairs (heating/water)
  • Avoiding overdraft or late fees

APR Disclosure: The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is the rate at which your loan accrues interest and is based upon the amount of your loan, cost of the loan, term of the loan, repayment amounts and timing of payments and payoff. Lenders are legally required to show you the APR and other terms of your loan before you execute a loan agreement. APRs vary ranging from 5.99% to 35.99% for personal loans.
