Doing any of these will reduce the total you pay in interest.

Here is what you can expect:

Funding

If your loan is approved, your next step is to sign your loan agreement. Everything is in our secure, online portal, so you sign electronically. No paper. No trips to an office or to the mailbox. After you sign all your loan documents online, we will direct deposit your funds in your checking account. You typically will see those funds in your account by the next business day.

Payments

Your first payment due date will be no less than 7 days from the date your loan is funded. Your first and last scheduled payment amount may be slightly different than the others. This is due to the period of time between when we fund your loan and the first scheduled payment, and the principal balance that you owe at the time of your last payment.

Loan Terms

All Ascend Loans are installment loans with approximate equal payments. That means you repay your loan over a set amount of time. Remember, you can reduce the amount of interest and fees you pay in 3 easy ways. You may sign up for auto-pay when you take out a loan, make additional principal payments, and pay your loan off early without a penalty. Each of these will reduce the amount of interest and fees that you pay.

Cost of Credit

The cost of credit is the amount you pay in interest and fees. It is additional to the amount you borrow, which is called the principal or funded amount. The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) shown on your loan agreement reflects your cost of credit. You will see Finance Charges on your Loan Agreement that lists the costs in dollars. (Check out the FAQs for more information on APR.) You will pay less finance charges by making additional principal payments or paying off early.

Payment Options

You earn a 25 percentage point discount on your interest rate if you agree to let us draft your payment from your checking account. If you want to pay by check, you’ll need to add a $5 processing fee to each payment. And you’re responsible for making sure your payment arrives to us on time (plus the cost of postage). If your payment is 3 days late or more, we’ll add a $25 late charge to your loan.

The information below is an example of what you could save by using auto-pay. Refer to your loan agreement for your finance charges, payment amount, due date, and APR and more.
