Fast Cash with Instant Approval Loans from LoanNow

When you’re facing a financial emergency, you don’t want to wait weeks for a decision for a bank loan application. If your utilities are due to be shut off tomorrow, you need money immediately. In such circumstances, you might get a credit card advance or resort to dealing with a pawn shop. If those options are not available, instant loans often sound very appealing. But turning to payday lenders promising instant loans for the money you need could produce an instant crisis that could require months – if not years – to straighten out. LoanNow also provides instant loans for many borrowers, and represents a safer alternative to payday loans.

installment loansCredit Card Cash Advances – Instant Loans, with a Catch

You might not think of credit card advances as loans, but that’s what they are. If your credit limit is high enough and you haven’t maxed out your account, you could obtain instant loan approval in the form of an ATM withdrawal. Credit card companies place a premium on convenience, in the form of higher APRs for cash advances, and no grace period – interest charges begin to accrue as soon as you have the money in your hand. 

Loans from Friends and Family Can Put Relationships at Risk

If you only need 20 bucks until Friday, friends and family can often help out. They will often hand you money on the spot with no strings attached. If you have the proverbial rich uncle or generous parents, you may be able to borrower larger sums with or without a formal agreement. These types of instant loans carry few risks, unless you make a habit of failing to repay what you owe, which could have a definite negative effect on your personal relationships.

Pawn Shop Instant Loans Require Collateral on the Spot

Pawn shops also provide instant loans, with no questions asked, provided you have merchandise that they consider valuable. You may not like the idea of hocking your class ring or the silver place settings Aunt Gertrude gave you as a wedding gift but if you’re desperate for money and cannot qualify for a bank loan, that’s what you have to do. The risks associated with instant loans pawn shops are obvious: if you fail to repay the loan – with a healthy dose of interest applied – by the deadline, usually 30 or 60 days later, you relinquish your property for good.

Some Instant Loans Translate Into Long-Term Debt

Let’s say you don’t have an Aunt Gertrude or you never bought your class ring. You may be drawn to brick and mortar establishments or online sites that advertise instant loans with no credit check. What these lenders don’t say is that those instant loans often carry long term consequences because of the combination of required lump sum payments, high interest rates and unrealistically short repayment periods that are gauged to match your pay dates or dates that you receive government or pension checks.

If you’re paid every week, you could be required to repay the entire loan within one week. Many lenders can’t manage that, but payday lenders have a solution – loan rollovers. In exchange for making token payments, borrowers are given a new loan to pay off the original loan – with a fresh set of fees and interest charges. After a few cycles of token payments and rollovers, many instant loans become ongoing headaches, with borrowers owing many times more than they originally paid.

Such establishments may be called check cashing stores or even currency exchanges, although both names are somewhat misleading. Whatever the label, these subprime lenders operate pretty much the same way: you present your paperwork, including proof of income you receive instant loan approval. The lender collects payment for your loan on the specified date, which is usually on or immediately after your next pay period. If your checks bounce, or if your ACH payment is declined, you’re faced with charges from your bank and the payday loan store – along with still owing your original loan. And each failed withdrawal generates stiff fees from the lender and your bank.
