NationalPayday
National Payday offers attractive loans to members of the general public to tide them over until they receive their pay cheques or other revenue streams.
The Process
The loans are free for first time customers, no information has to be faxed and no credit check is necessary. So if a customer has a bad credit rating or no credit rating whatsoever, they can still be eligible. Loans can be applied for online using a simple form available on National Payday's website. The usual arrangement is that the balance of the loan is due when the customer receives their pay, with the term of the loan beginning the moment the funds arrive in the customer's bank account. National Payday permits this time to be up to 16 days away. If a customer gets paid twice a month, they will be obliged to pay back the loan on their very next pay day. When that day arrives, National Payday will withdraw the full balance of the loan unless the customer wishes to arrange a series of partial payments. If the customer is paid once a month, he or she must fully repay the monies owed. If a customer takes out further loans after their free initial one, the fee is 25% of the amount borrowed.
All that is required of a customer to get a loan or advance is that they are in possession of a reputable checking account that has existed for at least one month with no bounced checks related to it. In addition, the applicant requires, a steady job that earns them a minimum of $1,000 a month, and not to have taken out more than one other payday loan or cash advance with another lender. Some basic information must be submitted, including name, email address, name of employer and salary amount. Once an online application has been received, it will be considered at a final review stage. The customer will be contacted via email and/or telephone about the application status, or to ask for additional details if needed. National Payday request that customers do not email them during the application process as this could tie up their resources and delay the approval procedure.
If everything is in place, National Payday can then pre-approve the customer in minutes. Very often the loan can be made within 1 working day, with the cash deposited directly into the customer's account. National Payday will treat your information with utmost confidentiality, never distributing it to third parties.
Privacy Issues
National Payday will never delve into a customer's personal matters and demand to know what the loan is for. Their belief is that the often complicated issue of obtaining an advance should be as safe and convenient for the public as possible.
Rewarding Loyalty
Although a first-time customer can get an advance of up to $400, returning customers earn the right to borrow more than that - up to $1,000 - as National Payday thinks it's only right to reward loyalty.
