This includes an e-signature and an instant verification process that allows us to have ‘view-only’ privileges to your bank account information. It is a fast, safe and secure process that allows us to quickly review and approve your loan.

When can I renew my loan?

In order to be eligible for a loan renewal, please make sure to meet the following criteria :

• If you are paid weekly, we accept loan renewal when you still have 2 payments left.
• If you are paid bi-weekly or bi-monthly, we accept loan renewal when you have 1 payment left.
• If you are paid monthly, we accept loan renewal upon completion of your payments.

What is instant verification?

Instant verification provides a fast and secure process that allows us to have viewing privileges of your bank statement. Instant verification uses the same level of security as your bank so your personal information is kept safe and secure. At no point are we logging into your bank. We DO NOT see your ID nor password information. We never have the option to login to your financial institution. We are simply provided a copy of your bank statement. When you login to your financial institution, your information is kept private and secure. Logging in verifies your identity and provides us with a 90 - day read only copy of your bank statement. This process allows us to make a fast decision on your loan so you can quickly get your money. We recommend this process to better service you and to provide a secure, safe and quick way to approve your loan.

Any uncollected debts are pursued to the full extent of the law.
