Whether it’s a flat tire, a surprise medical bill, or a broken appliance that can’t wait, life has a way of throwing curveballs when we least expect them. When an emergency happens, and you find yourself short on cash, payday lenders may seem like a quick fix, but the costs can add up fast and make repayment challenging. Here at Ascend, our goal is to help our members become effective financial stewards, and that includes helping you avoid loans that put extra strain on your budget. That’s why we offer CashPlease® Loans, a smarter, safer, and better way to get the cash you need without the heavy costs payday loans often carry.
Why CashPlease®?
Affordable Interest Rates & Lower Fees: Payday lenders can charge very high rates, making it difficult to pay back what you owe. The Center for Responsible Lending reports that the average payday lender carries a 400% Annual Percentage Rate (APR). CashPlease® Loans have lower rates and fees, helping you get back on your feet without derailing your financial goals.
Fast Funds: Approved loans are deposited directly into your Ascend account, often within 24 hours, so you can handle life’s emergencies without waiting.
Quick and Easy Application: There’s no credit pull and applying is straightforward and secure. You can complete your application from the comfort of your home or on your phone when you need it most.
A Smarter Option When Life Happens
We know emergencies happen, and you shouldn’t have to choose between getting help and falling into debt you can’t manage. If your Ascend account has been open for at least 120 days and you need cash quickly, a CashPlease® Loan could be the solution you need, with loan amounts up to $875 available to help you navigate financial challenges.
