Should you go here?

Too few reviews to judge, but the loan itself is expensive.

It has too few written reviews to compare with other stores. The risk is the product: fees are high and renewing adds the fee again. Compare a cheaper option first.

Work out what you’d repay

Payday lenders in the Houston area report an average fee of $17.46 per $100 for 17 days (OCCC, Q2 2026) — about $30.81 per $100 a month. Texas sets no cap on these fees, so ask this store for its own.

A cheaper route

Need $1,000 for 3 months? A credit-union loan could save you about $857.

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.

Credit-union PAL$1,067

This payday loan, renewed twice$1,924

Total repaid on $1,000 over 3 months, at the Houston area average fee (OCCC) and the federal PAL cap (12 CFR 701.21).
