- A customer in BC who takes three loans in a 62-day period will qualify for this plan
- The number of installments depends on your pay frequency. If you are paid Semi Monthly or Weekly/Bi-weekly, you will qualify for three payments. If you are paid monthly, you will qualify for two payments
- Government regulations mandate that the advance must be set up with these payment options, however, you can choose to repay the advance sooner to apply for a new Cash Advance. You must inform an Agent of your decision otherwise the payment plan will be utilized.
- Even if one payment has already been made, you are able to pay out the final payment(s) and reapply for a new advance
Regulation in BC states that borrowers must be given an EPP if they've previously borrowed 3 times within the past 62 days. It also states that payments must be due on your pay date, and that loan terms may not exceed 62 days.
A few times a year, it would be impossible to meet all of these criteria for monthly income borrowers who wish to borrow on the same day they've paid out a previous loan.
