Loan Rates and Fees

 

What loan rates and fees do I need to pay?

Your rate is fixed during the life of the loan. The interest rate you pay will be determined when you apply for the loan. It will be based on the lesser of 5%. This means that your rate will not vary from the rate it was awarded. Interest begins to accrue from the date of signing for the loan.

 

When will I sign for the loan?

In order to get a cash advance or cash loan, you must first complete and submit an application form. Keep in mind that EC Loans is not a direct lender, it will not provide loans to consumers; instead, it aids in the process, so that customers will get the loan that best matches their needs.

Once the application has been submitted, EC Loans will find a suitable lender based on your profile and loan requirements. The lender will disclose all payment information before you have any obligation to actually take out a loan.

Before accepting and signing for the loan, be sure to thoroughly review all information regarding fees and rates. Lenders are required by the Truth and Lending Act to disclose any and all fees that borrowers may be required to pay. Be aware that any fees and expenses for getting a cash loan are decided by the lender based on your customer profile as assessed in your application. Thus, rates and fees may vary depending on the lender and customer.

If you do not agree to the terms set by the lender, you do not have to accept the loan. However, should you decide to accept the terms and the loan, simply fill out the e-signature form and wait for your cash loan to be transferred directly into your bank account?

 

What will my interest rate be?

Fees and interest rates are dependent on the lender, which means different lenders may charge somewhat higher or lower fees. Rates are usually higher than those a bank would charge for a similar loan. Banks however, maintain stricter loan qualifications and issue loans only when certain requirements, like a good credit score, are met. The traditional loan application process is generally lengthier than going with a cash loan solution.
