What are Payday Loans?

A payday loan is usually a small cash advance that you pay back with your next paycheck. The loan term is usually 30 days or less.

What are Short Term or Installment Loans?

A short term or installment loan is as the title states. a loan you can repay over a short period of time, usually between 2  and 6 months.

Who are They For?

Payday or short term loans are for people who need cash quickly, ideally for an emergency. Your car might have broken down, your heating has gone off or you need a deposit on a place but can’t pull together the cash quickly.

There are a variety of reasons you might need a loan like this for, but remember, the interest is higher than standard loans so use them sparingly, only when you need them but not every month as they are unsustainable.
