What is a one month loan?

1 Month Loans

A one month loan, also known as a payday loan, is paid directly into your bank account, usually on the same day. The interest rate is much higher than other types of loan. A payday loan must be repaid as one lump sum payment, usually within 30 days. They are designed to cover a temporary shortfall or financial emergency until your next pay day.

Why take out a One Month Loan?

Payday loans provide easy access to credit, even if you have a bad credit record. If you have a poor credit history, payday loans can be one of the few ways you can access credit. High Street Banks are unlikely to lend to borrowers with low credit ratings, but payday loan companies will often take the risk because of the smaller amounts involved and the fast payback time.

WARNING. Payday loans are often taken out by people who cannot afford them or who may already have other debts. There may not be enough income to repay the new loan and so you could get caught in a spiral of debt that is increasing.
