Is a payday loan right for you?
- A payday loan is an unsecured short-term loan to meet unexpected cash needs. When used for short-term cash needs, a payday loan is convenient and economical, but it is inappropriate to use for long-term or continuing cash needs.
- A payday loan should be used responsibly and for the purpose for which it is intended, namely to solve temporary cash-flow problems by bridging the gap between paydays.
- Payday loans are for occasional use only and should not be used to cover continual shortfalls in your budget.
