How We Make Money

PaydayEase is free for readers. We pay for the site in one way: referral fees.

Referral fees

When you submit the loan request form on our homepage, your request may be sent to a lending network. If a lender or partner in that network receives your request or makes you a loan, we may be paid a fee. We do not charge you anything, and the fee does not change the price a lender offers you.

What this does not change

• Our guides recommend free and low-cost options, such as SSA immediate payments and credit union loans, before payday loans, even though we earn nothing from those.
• We do not accept payment to change what an article says about a product.
• Articles about benefits never include a loan offer above the free options.

We are not a lender

PaydayEase does not make loans, decide who is approved, or set rates and fees. Any loan offer comes from a lender, and its terms are in the lender’s agreement. Read the full rates and fees disclosure.
