Need Cash To ay For Holiday xpenses? DON'T FLL INTO THS TWO TRS.. Beware Of INSTNT Refund Tax Loans With tax filing season right around the corner, your credit union urges you to avoid tax preparers' "instant refund" feature. Fees for this service may seem "reasonable" at the time but such refunds are actually loans that carry very high interest rates. fee of $50, for example, on a refund of $500 that the tax preparer gets back in two weeks works out to an annual interest rate of 240%. Think about it. Would you borrow money from anyone at that rate - for money that is yours to begin with? Of course not. But millions of people every year pay these kinds of fees for a little convenience. With electronic filing (used by most major tax preparers) wait times have been dramatically reduced for tax refunds. Take our advice. Wait the short amount of time it takes to get LL your money back. Need Cash NOW! Contact us about a Signature Loan. t BCO you will pay a lot less than an instant tax refund loan and get the same, fast service. ayday Loans re NOT ood Deal When you're in a jam for cash, a payday loan might seem like an easy solution. But what are you willing to pay for what seems like convenience? Now you don't have to guess - or kid yourself. The Consumer Federation of merica (CF) has a calculator that crunches the numbers, and also crunches any illusions you might have about the deal you're getting from a payday lender. Just visit www.paydayloaninfo.org and plug in some whatifs. What if, say, you borrowed $300 for two weeks, at a perhundred-dollar fee of $15, and made eight loans or renewals in one year's time - all typical numbers. Here's the reality check: You would pay $360 in finance charges - plus the original $300 - at an R (annual percentage rate) of 390%. Sometimes called cash advance loans, check advance loans, postdated check loans, or deferred deposit check loans, these shortterm loans are small cash loans secured by a borrower's personal check, payable in full on the borrower's next payday. Interest rates in excess of 300% are not uncommon. If you are in need of cash, large or small, give BCO a call! Toll-Free: 1-800-225-1859 Or contact any Branch Office listed in this newsletter.
