Small Christmas Loans

The holiday season is festive, with family get-togethers, decorations, lights, holiday parties and delicious food.  But celebrating the holidays can be expensive.  Even if you’re trying to economize, small Christmas loans can mean the difference between enjoying a special meal with family and friends and eating leftovers at home alone.   There are many sources for small Christmas loans, but many savvy borrowers turn to LoanNow.

Credit Cards

If you’re fortunate enough to have sufficient available credit on your credit card, small Christmas loans can be as close as a trip to the nearest ATM.   But unless you need hard currency, using your card to make purchases makes more financial sense.  That’s because interest charges for purchases do not begin to accumulate until after a specified grace period, so that you could pay off your balance without incurring interest charges. Additionally, the APR for cash advances is invariably higher than for purchases.

Banks

For many borrowers, small Christmas loans from banks are not the best option – or even a viable option at all.  Banks typically impose strict underwriting criteria for unsecured loans.  Borrowers with less than excellent credit are often required to provide collateral, a creditworthy co-signer or both as a condition for being approved for a loan.   Nearly all borrowers, regardless of credit score, are required to wait while a bank processes loan applications, which can sometimes take weeks.

Online Loan Brokers

Online brokers provide small Christmas loans by acting as an intermediary between borrowers and select groups of lenders. Borrowers submit a preliminary application to the lender, which distributes their applications to a select group of lenders. The lenders then have the authority to make an offer to the borrower if they so choose.  Many borrowers receive multiple offers under this process, but some borrowers receive only a single offer, while others receive none.
