Payday Loans

  • Overview

    Payday Loans

    Sometimes it is easy to get caught with expenses due while waiting on your next paycheck. When this happens, many people find themselves looking for a quick solution. While some lenders take a predatory approach and require people who are in this tough spot to put up their assets as a means of getting a loan, a regulated payday loan is a much better solution.

    Apply now from your computer, mobile phone, tablet, or in person with one of our friendly loan officers. More questions? Contact Consumer Loans at 907-459-5970.

  • FAQ

    Frequently Asked Questions

    • Do I need good credit to receive a payday loan?

      We work with members who have all types of credit histories. This loan program allows for a lower credit score than our other loan products.

    • Will I be paying much in interest?

      Since the loan term is so short, and the loan is generally paid off quickly for amounts of $1k or less, the interest is very affordable.

    • How is this different from other payday loan companies?

      Spirit of Alaska FCU follows all lending regulations, regulations that are meant to protect consumers from predatory lending. Our interest rates are also regulated for these types of loans. At Spirit, you avoid strange lending practices, buying products from a catalog you do not need, and outrageous fees.

    • Can I skip a payment on a pay day loan?

      No, Skip-a-Pay is not available due to the nature of the loan.

      You can find all your loan information by accessing e-Teller.

    • Can I change the loan payment date?

      Yes. Come in to one of our branches and our loan officers can help you with changing your payment date.
