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.

Need $1,000 for 3 months? A credit-union loan could save you about $966.

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.
