How is easyfinancial Different from Payday Lenders?
Unlike payday lenders, easyfinancial allows you to borrow a fixed amount of money and repay it over a predetermined period. It comes with a fixed interest rate, ensuring that you pay back the loan in consistent installments. Our personal loans are designed with flexible payment options allow you to tailor your loan term from 9 to 240 months and enjoy fixed payment amounts that include both principal and interest. This means with each payment you make, you're getting closer to being debt-free as your principal balance decreases until the loan is fully repaid.
Is a Payday Loan Enough?
Compared to payday loans, easyfinancial Personal loans offer higher borrowing limits, providing more significant financial resources for a variety of needs, from debt consolidation to major purchases or expenses. With loans from $500 to $20,000 easyfinancial provides access to higher amounts than payday lenders. How do you decide between taking out a payday loan or a higher-limit personal loan from easyfinancial?
Payday Loans Aren't Flexible
With easyfinancial you can tailor your loan and if you’re able, you can pay off your loan at any time with no penalty and save the interest. Plus, you can get a 2% rate reduction with a co-applicant.
Payday Loans Don't Build Credit History
Timely payments on easyfinancial personal loans are reported to credit bureaus, aiding in building or improving your credit history, which is a benefit not commonly associated with payday loans. To ensure your credit continues to improve it is important to make all of your payments on time.
Payday Loans Have High Interest
Unlike the 500% APRs of Payday lenders, easyfinancial's lower APRs reduce the cost of borrowing. Personal loans typically feature APRs as much as 10 times lower compared to payday loans, making the overall borrowing cost much cheaper, especially over the full term of the loan.
Longer Repayment Periods
The extended repayment terms of personal loans provide a more manageable schedule, reducing financial pressure by allowing for smaller, regular payments rather than the lump-sum repayment often required by payday loans. This can help people escape the cycle of payday loan debt.
Predictable Payment Structure
The fixed payment structure of personal loans eliminates surprises during the repayment period, allowing for better budgeting and financial planning. When applying for a loan an easyfinancial loan specialist will help you find the right plan for your budget.
Fast and Secure Access to Money
With Interac® e-Transfer, get your money within hours after getting approved. On average loan applications receive credit pre-approval within 10 minutes, and get a final lending decision within 30 minutes.
No Collateral Requirements
Both payday loans and unsecured installment loans do not require collateral. This means valuable assets like your car are not at risk in the borrowing process, a notable advantage for those who may not have collateral to offer. However, unlike payday lenders, easyfinancial also offers services like our Loan Protection Plan to give you additional peace of mind in case of unexpected situations that can impact your ability to make loan payments.
Consolidation of Multiple Debts
While payday loans can help with debts up to $1,500 a personal loans can be used to consolidate multiple high-interest debts into one loan with a lower interest rate and a single monthly payment, simplifying debt management and potentially reducing interest costs.
