Short Term Loans & Finance

Short Term Loans

A short term loan is a type of unsecured loan, or personal loan.

Sometimes you only need help for a short period of time, so it makes sense to borrow only what you need and only for as long as you need it.

You can pay for items you need today or get a better deal by paying cash up front for larger purchases with a short term loan. A short term loan can be used to cover unexpected expenses such as car repairs and overdue bills, living expenses, emergency expenses and special treats. 

Types of Short Term Loan Lenders

In the loan market, there are many different short term loan lenders, some of which are ‘high-cost’. Despite charging more than 50% per annum, high-cost lenders may advertise ‘daily interest rates,’ making them appear less expensive. Some loan terms are just a few weeks, but the danger is default fees if you do not repay the full amount on time. Your credit history will be negatively affected if this happens. A bad credit score can result from defaulting on loan payments. Getting into a debt cycle occurs when you borrow more money to repay your current debts. In addition, every time you apply for a loan, a credit check is performed, which also affects your credit history. 

Loansmart offers short term loans with a minimum loan period of six months. We do this because we want to ensure our customers are able to comfortably repay their loans. Spreading out your loan repayments will make them more affordable. In this way, you can build your credit rating by making your payments on time. If you have a good credit rating, you will be able to receive a better interest rate. 

We offer short term loans with customized terms and rates. The loan interest rate you are charged will vary depending on your credit rating and financial situation, which is why you must take the necessary steps to ensure you repay your loan on time.  Having a fixed interest rate allows you to budget with confidence, since the total loan amount won’t change. You can schedule repayment dates to coincide with your paychecks to make the repayment process even simpler.
