Quick Fix Loans
A Smart Alternative to Payday Lending
The District Credit Union developed the Quick Fix Loan to protect its members from the predatory rates of payday lenders. Read on to learn how you can save more of your hard-earned money.
An affordable, short-term loan
Unlike payday or cash advance loans, our Quick Fix Loan offers a longer, 90-day repayment term with lower fees and interest rates. Applying is easy—no credit check or collateral is required, and the application fee is only $20 (which acts as a deposit). And when it comes time to repay the loan, you’ll pay only 18% APR*—that’s considerably less than the 450% effective interest rates you may be paying on a payday loan. Plus, you’ll have the flexibility of making monthly, biweekly, or weekly loan payments.
Best of all, our Quick Fix Loan features a built-in savings benefit. Upon approval of your loan, an additional amount, equal to 10% of your loan, will be deposited into your savings account. You may not withdraw any portion of that deposit, or close your account, until the loan is paid off. Once you’ve paid off your loan, your application deposit and the interest you’ve earned is yours!
- $200 Minimum Loan
- $570 Maximum Loan ($500 + $50 in Savings + $20 application deposit)
Why pay high fees and interest rates when there’s a better alternative? For more details and an application, contact The District Credit Union.
