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).
