When a consumer needs a quick cash advance, a same day payday loan or credit union loan may provide the answer. No credit check finance is particularly popular with those who have a poor credit history due to missed and late payments. However, the consequence of this is a higher rate of interest in order to underwrite the risk of the borrower defaulting. This means that any loan where no credit scoring takes place is only suitable for the short term (normally a calendar month or less).

Credit Union Loans or Same Day Payday Loans?

Banks aren't interested in a customer who has a history of adverse repayments and/or very short term loans. This means that a no credit check payday loan is offered by a specialist private sector lender (such as a pawnbrokers) in return for a high rate of interest. The loan is typically offered for a month (i.e. until the borrower receives his/her pay). They work on a similar basis, but are offered by a nonprofit organisation. Whilst this should mean that the terms are more competitive, this isn't always the case.
