Existing customers can improve their tier after building their loan repayment history with us. See the tables below for examples of these tiers.

Extensions
Extensions should not be used as a long-term financial solution. Extensions are not automatically granted, and we will consider your extension request based on the information you provide and your current financial situation. If you have a one-period loan and are eligible to apply for an extension, you can log into your account and select the "Get More Time" button or call our Customer Service team. By extending your loan, you will incur additional finance charges. You will only owe a finance charge on your original due date, which is typically your next pay date. (However, we suggest you pay as much of your principal as possible on your next pay date to reduce further charges.) The principal of your existing loan will then be 'rolled over' into a new loan. You will pay the loan amount and finance charge of this new loan on your following due date, which is typically your following pay date. Extensions, partial payment and early payoff requests must be received by 17:00, at least three working days prior to your due date. For more information on extensions, visit our FAQ page.
