What Is a Payday Loan Alternative?

You may have heard of payday loans or you might have seen ads for one on TV. Maybe you saw something about a fast payday loan online. A payday loan is when a lender provides you with a short-term loan and you have to pay the money back with interest by your next payday. What if the problem you have is that your car broke down and you need to get it repaired quickly, but you don’t have the money and you won’t be able to borrow money if you have to pay it all back by your next paycheck? That may leave you wondering, what options do you have?

At Blue Trust Loans, we don’t offer payday loans. We’re here when you need us, 24-7, with payday loan alternatives. If you aren’t sure what the difference is between payday loans and payday loan alternatives, it’s not a problem. Below we’ll discuss payday loans, their alternatives, and some additional information to help you decide what might be best for you.

Payday Loans

One of the biggest benefits of payday loans is that having a bad credit history doesn’t necessarily prevent you from being approved. But that doesn’t mean that payday loans are always the best option. Having to pay all the money back with interest by your next payday can leave some borrowers without enough left over in their paychecks to cover their regular expenses. While payday lenders may allow borrowers to “roll over” the loan to a later paycheck, this typically incurs additional interest and fees that may add significantly to the cost of the loan. Some states only let you borrow up to $500 with a payday loan. If you need more money to pay for an emergency expense, such as an unexpected veterinary bill or money to fix the leak in your basement, you will need to find more funding.

Payday Loan Alternatives

Unlike payday loans, there are alternative options that may have some of the benefits of payday loans, but where you will be given more time to repay the loan. An unsecured loan, such as a loan that you can get from Blue Trust Loans, is a payday loan alternative that might be a great option for you to get the money that you need fast. You might even qualify for Same Day Funding. Blue Trust Loans offers up to $3,000, and you may have as long as 10 months to repay it. That means, as opposed to payday loans, there won’t be any worrying about having to pay your entire loan off, with interest, immediately.
