How Long is the Loan For?
Length or “term” of the loan will be between 6 months and 18 months depending on your individual circumstance.
Is there a Fee?
There is no fee to an EPAL Loan.
When is the First Payment?
We can put your first payment as far out as 90 days.
What if I have bad credit?
We do pull your credit score, but the history does not apply to underwriting. We use the history with other financial education that we have to help you improve your situation.
Financial Counseling
We also want you to fill out a budget so we can review your finances with you. We will look for different ways you can streamline your monthly finances.
