Must read: Be cautious of extremely short term
Although it’s in the name, short-term loans tend to be due anywhere from 14 to 30 days after you borrow. However, Kansas allows lenders in Wichita and throughout the state to have some of the shortest terms in the country — a minimum of seven days. This means that you may have to repay your loan, including any fees you’ve accrued, within one week of borrowing. That doesn’t give many people much time to get the money they need together, especially if you regularly struggle with financial problems.
