Small-Dollar Loans

When you need money now.

Get money when you need it most, deposited right into your SESLOC account. This loan is also great for helping to establish and build credit.

60-Second
Funds in an Instant!

If approved, our lighting-fast, secure application will process and fund your loan in under one minute, even on nights and weekends.

No Credit
Check Required

We review your account deposit history and other membership information, instead of using your credit score, recent paycheck stubs or other traditional loan qualifications.

Small-Dollar,
Big Impact

Our small-dollar loans help you borrow responsibly, requesting funds for only what you need. If approved, borrow as little as $200, even if you qualify for up to $3,000 for bigger life events.

Other features include:

  • Highly competitive, affordable interest rates²
  • Two loan options to fit your loan amount and repayment needs
  • Choose your preferred monthly payment due date: 1st, 10th, 15th, 20th or 25th
  • No application fee
  • 100% digital application
  • No loan prepayment penalties

Short-term Loan Options

We offer two affordable small-dollar, short-term loan options. Our quick application will review your SESLOC banking and membership history and if qualified, will provide one or more loan options. You can choose the loan option that works best for your situation. Both loans were created to ensure monthly payments don’t exceed $200.

 

Smart Payday loan

28.00% APR*, up to $2,000

Unlike a traditional payday loan that is based off the amount of your current paycheck, has average interest rates as high as 374%,² and often must be paid back within a few weeks, our Smart Payday loan is a better, more affordable solution with repayment terms from 3 to 12 months. It’s a great option if you have unplanned emergencies.

  • Loans from $200 – $2,000
  • Tiered loan terms 3 12 months
  • Rate of 28.00% APR
Loan Amount Term (in months) Payment Range
$200 – $500 3 $69.83 – $174.57

$1,001 $1,500 9 $124.68 – $186.84
$1,501 $2,000 12 $144.98 – $193.17

Life Event loan

18.00% APR*, up to $3,000

With higher funding amounts and repayment terms from 12 to 36 months, our Life Event loan is the perfect solution for those needing more time to pay back the loan. It can be used for unplanned emergencies, but also to celebrate life’s more joyful occasions, such as a graduation party, dream vacation or to stock your new nursery to help support your growing family.

  • Loans from $500 $3,000
  • Tiered loan terms 12 36 months.

*APR = Annual Percentage Rate. Rates, terms and conditions are subject to change without notice.
1. All loans subject to approval and underwriting criteria, including eligibility and banking and membership history; not every applicant will qualify. Members with an open Workout and/or Repayment loans are not eligible to open an Instant Funds loan. If approved, funds will automatically be deposited into the account selected during the application process. The due date selection and automatic monthly payment pre-authorizations occur at the time the loan is booked. Depending on the due date selected, the first payment date may be less than or more than 30 days from funding. The automatic payments will be debited from the same account the loan proceeds were deposited into. The entire payment amount must be available in the account for the payment to process. Payments received 15 days after the due date are subject to a late charge. Payday Loan Payment Example: A $2,000 loan, at 28.00% APR for 12 months would have an estimated monthly payment of $193.64. Life Event Loan Payment Example: A $3,000 loan, at 18.00% APR for 36 months would have an estimated monthly payment of $109.22.
