Anyone needing more than $750, or who wants a fee-free structure
What we like

Where it could improve
  • − Brokerage, administrative and optional surety fees apply on top of interest
  • − $500 to $750 range is the narrowest in the pool

I really appreciate the folks at Eastern Loans for helping me with my loan. They took the time to explain the terms of the loan agreement. I didn't feel rushed or pressured at all (as with some other payday companies). Got approved within 24 hours. Great experience and service.
