Three reasons to avoid traditional payday loans

Number 1 class="wrapper">

Interest can be as high as 600%¹!

There’s a reason payday loans are known as predatory financial services. Most payday lenders don’t tell you what you’re paying in terms of interest—they’ll instead tell you what their fees are per dollars borrowed. But if you break down their numbers the way we break down ours, you’ll see that the average interest rates wind up being between 300% and 600%.

Number 2 class="wrapper">

You're expected to repay right away.

Most payday loans have a term of two weeks. But what happens if you can’t pay it off when your next paycheck rolls around? You can ask the payday lender to “roll over” the loan. But that just creates a finance-charge avalanche. The amount you have to repay can quickly be double the amount you originally borrowed.

Number 3 class="wrapper">

Payday lenders target our most vulnerable consumers.

At Embold, we believe in financial freedom for all, and that especially applies to our members who may find themselves in a tight spot. Our goal is to help you achieve stability and wellness, not to take advantage of anyone who is down on their luck.

Skip a Payment.

Life happens. Most Embold loans allow you to request a skip payment for a low fee. Skip this month’s payment with no impact on your credit score, and use the money you save to get back on track.
