How does Fundo's small loan work?
Fundo offers small loans with a fast online approval process. Fundo charges an upfront fee that is 20% of the loan amount, and then charges a monthly 4% fee until you repay the loan.
Features of this loan
Here are the main points to consider when looking at Fundo's small loans:
- Fees and charges. With this loan you pay an upfront fee and a monthly fee.
- Arrears fee. You also get charged a fee if you miss a repayment.
- Fast approval. If you apply online and meet Fundo's criteria you can get a loan approved on the same day.
- Credit check. Fundo checks your credit score when you apply.
What are the risks of short term loans?
- High costs. Small loans have high fees and charges relative to the amount you're borrowing. While it might seem like a small price to pay for quick cash, you should be fully aware of the costs before applying.
- Impact on your credit score. Every loan application shows up on your credit score. If you have multiple loans at once you could lower your credit score or even get a new application rejected, which would further lower your score.
- Longer loan terms mean more costs. The longer you take to repay a loan the higher the costs to you.
- Financial stress.Some borrowers turn to small, fast loans because of a financial emergency or because they've fallen into bad habits. Before getting any loan, ask yourself if you really need this money and be sure the loan repayments won't put you into further financial stress.

It depends on how long you have the loan for. With a 20% fee upfront it’s going to cost at least $100 to start, plus the 4% monthly fee which would be $20 a month.
