2. Borrowing smarter: How Beforepay helped Australians save on fees
Borrowing money is often necessary, but it doesn’t have to come with high fees and hidden costs. At Beforepay, we’re committed to providing an affordable and transparent borrowing experience. When comparing Beforepay to payday loans, the savings speak for themselves.
In fact, borrowing a total of $1,000 over the course of the year with Beforepay Pay Advance could have saved you $150 in fees compared to payday loans*.
This is based on an establishment fee of 20% commonly associated with payday loans, excluding monthly fees and other fees.
With Beforepay, the approach to lending ensures that repayment terms are clear, and there are no surprise fees. Borrowing with Beforepay is not only more affordable but also safer compared to the alternatives.
