How borrowing works locally

A lender's assessment looks at income, existing obligations, the credit file, and the asset pledged where there is one.

Disclosure requirements mean the cost of borrowing must be stated before an agreement is signed. A payday advance is repaid on a pay date, while an instalment loan is repaid over a set number of payments.
