Affordable Small Dollar Loans
The Affordable Small Dollar Loan program through the Community Loan Center of Eastern Idaho provides loans up to $1,000. These inexpensive loans have an 18% interest rate as opposed to payday lenders that can charge upwards of 500%. The Affordable Small Dollar Loans are easily approved, have no credit checks and no collateral required. The loan program is offered through a participating employer and loans are direct deposited directly to the employees bank account. These loans offer a longer term of repayment of 12 months, essentially allowing the employee a more reasonable way to borrow as opposed to payday loans. Unlike payday loans the Affordable Small Dollar Loans help to improve your credit score. There is a $20 per loan processing fee and affordable payments are paid through a convenient payroll deduction. Employees apply online anytime with a fully automated system. There is no direct cost or risk to the employers. In addition to the loan, borrowers are eligible for free, no-obligation financial coaching from NeighborWorks® Pocatello, a non-profit, HUD-certified counseling agency.
