When a short-term loan may not fit

A loan adds a future payment to your budget. If you would need another loan to repay this one, or cannot cover essentials after repayment, pause and consider other options. Ask a bill provider about a payment arrangement, review non-essential expenses or seek debt-counselling guidance.

Do not use this product to cover ongoing monthly shortfalls, gamble, invest speculatively or repay an existing RandHaven loan. A higher amount is never a reward for borrowing more.
