What happens if I’m late?
Ask for the late fee in dollars and whether they call your employer or references.
3
Can I pay it off early?
Ask them to confirm there is no charge for paying early.

A cheaper route

Before you borrow here, ask a credit union about a small-dollar loan.

A Payday Alternative Loan (PAL) from a federal credit union is $200–$2,000, repaid over 1–12 months, capped at 28% a year plus a $20 fee at most. You usually join the credit union first, which can take a day.
