Certain finance companies make small, short-term, high-interest loans that go by a variety of names: payday loans, cash advance loans, post-dated cheque loans, for example. Typically, the borrower writes a personal cheque, post-dated by two weeks and payable to the lender for the amount they wish to borrow plus a fee. The company then gives the borrower the amount of the cheque minus the fee. | Certain finance companies make small, short-term, high-interest loans that go by a variety of names: payday loans, cash advance loans, post-dated cheque loans, for example.
