All of our fair and affordable loans offer low, fixed interest rates and have no fees. In addition, our approach to reviewing loans considers an applicant’s character as well as their finances. We work with applicants to learn about their unique circumstances, we look beyond their credit scores to understand their capacity to repay a loan, and then we develop affordable loans that work for them.

The Economic Justice Fund charges no fees. Many other lenders charge application fees, origination fees, servicing fees, and prepayment fees. We charge no fees because we believe in providing fair and affordable loans with transparent terms.

Our loan application process is quick and easy. You can complete the online application form in just a few minutes. During the application process, you can upload documents (or take pictures from a mobile device) to provide a government-issued ID and proof of income (such as recent paychecks).

APR is used to show the total cost of a loan by including the interest rate and all fees. APR represents an accurate cost of borrowing and can be used to compare annual loan costs across different loan options. Since the Economic Justice Fund charges no fees, the APR will always match your low interest rate on the loan, from 6.5% to 17.9%. Therefore, the maximum APR on the Economic Justice Personal Loan is 17.9%.

If you had a $10,000 loan with a 9% interest rate and 5% origination fee, the APR would be 12.54% over the 36-month term. Below is a real-life example of this $10,000 loan that explains the rates and fees. Since the Economic Justice Fund charges no fees, the APR will always match your low interest rate on the loan.
