Late fees apply. All payment plans and loans are subject to approval and, with respect to the loan, the rate for which individual borrowers qualify may vary based on individual credit history and other factors.
*Scratch Pay plans are available in 12 to 24 month terms, range in approved loan amounts from $200 to $10,000, and with annual percentage rates (APR) ranging from 0% to 36%, with the lowest rates for borrowers with exceptional credit profiles. Monthly payment amounts on plan will depend on the term length, amount financed, and APR. For example, a 12-month payment plan for $10,000 with 5.99% APR would have 12 monthly payments of $860.62 for a total repayment amount of $10,327.44. Signing for a plan means the borrower agrees to make all payments in full and on the scheduled due dates. A borrower may incur late fees for partial or late payments that may result in higher interest charges and repayment schedule. To obtain financing, a $15 down payment is required. Autopay enrollment is optional for 12-month and 24-month plans. Refunds are given for unused plans.
