How Check 'n Go Payday Loans Work
Check 'n Go payday loans are small, short-term loans that provide quick cash to borrowers facing immediate financial needs. These loans are typically:
- Available to borrowers with a valid checking account
- Disbursed within one business day
- Repaid on your next payday
- Subject to high interest rates (often 300% APR or more)
Payday loans are designed for short-term financial needs, but their high costs can lead to debt cycles. Always consider alternatives before taking out a payday loan.
Loan Process
- Apply online or in-store with your checking account information
- Receive funds within one business day
- Repay the loan in full by your next payday
- Receive your next paycheck with the loan deducted
Interest Calculation
Check 'n Go payday loans typically use a simple interest formula:
Total Interest = Principal × Interest Rate × Time
Where:
- Principal = Loan amount
- Interest Rate = Annual Percentage Rate (APR)
- Time = Loan term in years
Worked Example
Let's calculate a $500 payday loan with a 365-day term at 365% APR:
| Description | Calculation | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Loan Amount | $500 | $500.00 |
| APR | 365% | 365% |
| Term | 1 year (365 days) | 1 year |
| Daily Interest Rate | 365% ÷ 365 = 1% per day | 1% per day |
| Total Interest | $500 × 1% × 1 year = $500 | $500.00 |
| Total Repayment | $500 (principal) + $500 (interest) = $1,000 | $1,000.00 |
This example shows how quickly interest can accumulate on a payday loan. The total repayment of $1,000 is significantly higher than the original $500 loan amount.
