Decision block 03
How to read a “fast funding” statement
| Phrase | What it can mean | What it does not mean |
|---|---|---|
| Fast decision | A lender may be able to review quickly. | Does not mean money is already sent. |
| Same-day disbursement | A lender may send funds the same business day if conditions are met. | Does not control when your bank posts the deposit. |
| Bank arrival | The point at which funds are available in your account. | Depends on lender rail, cutoff and your financial institution. |
Decision block 04
Do not choose only by speed
- A faster offer can still have a higher APR, higher fees or a payment that does not fit your budget.
- Read the lender name, APR, finance charges, amount received, payment schedule and total repayment first.
- For urgent expenses, compare the funding deadline with provider payment plans, assistance or other alternatives before accepting expensive credit.
Submit a request when timing and cost both fitCTCLoans can route your request, but only a participating lender can approve and disburse credit.
