How does Nyble compare with payday loan apps?
Nyble, and apps most similar to Nyble, have several similarities and differences with payday loan apps:
Similarities
Fast funding. With both types, it’s possible to get your money within an hour of applying.
Flexible requirements. You can qualify using government benefits or private pensions as income and sometimes you won’t need to go through a credit check.
Easy online application. Use the app to apply for funding within minutes.
Differences
Payday loans are more expensive. You’ll pay $14 to $17 for every $100 borrowed, which works out to annual percentage rates (APRs) in the triple digits.
Payday loans have higher loan amounts. You can borrow up to $1,500, while apps like Nyble usually cap at $150 or slightly higher.
Payday loans are usually faster. You can get instant approval and funding 24/7 with some payday lenders.
Payday loans do not allow rollovers. With Nyble, if you don’t have enough money to repay your loan, you can choose to repay it next month or the month after. Payday lenders cannot offer this.
To sign up for Nyble or apps like Nyble in Canada, you’ll need to provide:
