What is a Short Term Loan?
A short term loan allows you to borrow between $100 to $35,000 but for a short-term period of just a few months.
At Pheabs, we offer loans that are repaid over 1 to 60 months in equal installments and they are designed to tide you over until you get into a better financial position, or perhaps if you have a particular purchase or expense, such as a new car, starting a business, debt consolidation or even a wedding.
You can receive money upfront and use this for your purchase and then you simply repay the loan each month and this is collected on a date that you agree with the lender, usually the last working day of the month when you receive your salary from work.
Examples of short term loans include unsecured, payday and installment loans, since these are usually for a short-term purposes and are not for the long-term, such as a mortgage.
At Pheabs, we work with a number of short term lenders in the USA, including stores and apps, so that you have a wide choice and can be connected to the right lender for you.

Is Pheabs a Short Term Loans Direct Lender?
No, Pheabs is not a direct lender since we match your loan enquiry with the best lender in the US who can approve it and offer you the best rates. We are a technology-driven platform which processes thousands of data points when you apply for a loan – and this allows us to find the best lender for you.
There are certainly benefits of working with a direct lender, since it means that your details are not being passed around and you know exactly who you are working with.
But do not fear, Pheabs is passionate about offering a secure platform and once you have been given a loan decision, you can work with your chosen lender every step of the way. You can have peace of mind that your details are safe, they will not be shared with third parties and that there are no other middlemen involved.
How Do My Loan Repayments Work?
Your short term loan repayments are collected in equal monthly installments, depending on the duration of your loan which ranges from 1 to 60 months.
Our repayments are collected automatically using a system known as ACH which means that collections are taken automatically from your account on the due date, which is usually the last working day of the month.
This means that payments are taken automatically and therefore you do not need to call up, make a manual payment or go to the bank, since this is all straightforward.
You will always have the option to repay your loan early by contacting the lender directly. In fact, clearing your account could save you a lot of money since less interest is adding up. So the longer you keep your loan open, the more it will cost.
Does Pheabs offer Short Term Loans for Bad Credit?
Yes, we can facilitate short term loans for poor credit histories. You just need to make sure that you meet the eligibility criteria which includes being over 18 and having a stable employment and income so that you can afford to repay your loan on time.
At Pheabs, we understand that keeping a perfect track record when it comes to your credit history is not always possible and there are emergencies that can happen. But if you are committed to repaying your loan on time each month, we are delighted to offer a number of short term lenders that can assist you today.
Not every lender specializes in good credit loans, some of our partners offer products for people with bad credit. To facilitate this, they may offer slightly higher rates, or longer term loans which give you more breathing space to pay back. Our partners may also suggest products such as secured loans or title collateral loans against your car, which means that you do not need a good credit score to be eligible.
Can I Get A Short Term Loan With No Credit Checks?
If you are looking for short term loans without credit checks, this might be tricky since most of our lenders will run a credit check to confirm your eligibility. After all, being able to see your previous credit history and how well you have paid other types of loans or credit cards is a good indication of your future behavior.
But if you want no credit check loans, we have a number of lenders on our panel who can accommodate different requirements and circumstances – so do not worry!
For example, you may be presented with an option from a credit union, an app or even a secured product such as a title loan or home loan, where you require collateral and your credit score is not required.
What Information Do I Need to Apply For a Short Term Loan?
You will just need to enter some basic details about yourself, including your name, age, address, income, employment, expenses, driver’s license number or state ID, valid checking account, phone number, email address and the loan amount and how long for.
With Pheabs, you will be matched with a partner lender automatically and if you wish to go ahead, they will undergo some additional checks and if successfully approved, your loan can be funded in 24 hours or the next business day.
FAQs
How Much Can I Borrow From Pheabs?
We offer loans between $100 to $35,000 and the amount you can borrow will depend on how much you earn per month, your employment, residential status, credit score and affordability. For longer term loans, these are likely to be spread over longer periods of time.
How Long Can I Borrow a Short Term Loan For?
A short term might run from 1 month to 24 months with the option to repay in equal monthly installments. This can help borrowers spread repayment over a longer period of time which is useful if you have emergencies and perhaps are unsure of your financial position. You always have the option to pay early if you want to or extend for longer if need be, but this will incur added interest.
How Quickly Can I Receive My Loan?
The loan approval process usually takes around 1 day and once fully approved, it can often be funded in 1 to 24 hours. If you are borrowing small amounts such as $200 or $300 and you have a fair or good credit score, this could be approved and funded immediately, so it is not uncommon to receive your loan within a few hours.
What Type of Short Term Loans Do You Offer?
Pheabs offers a range of short term loans including unsecured (personal, payday, installment, credit union, bank loans) and secured loans (cosigner, collateral, title loans). The cost of the loan will vary depending on the product, with good credit scores likely to attract lower rates. Those with bad credit scores and a history of missed repayments, might require the use of collateral to get the loan they need or be open to paying higher rates than average.
How Much Will a Short Term Loan Cost Me?
For customers with good credit scores, rates for personal loans start from around 6% APR, but can be up to 36% APR for bad credit. If you wish to use a payday loan, the rates can range from 200% to 800% APR because you pay for the convenience of having an unsecured loan which is funded very fast – and the repayment terms are usually a few weeks which makes the APR seem a bit inflated.
What Happens if I Cannot Repay My Loan on Time?
If you cannot make your repayments for a short term loan on time, you will receive follow up calls, emails and SMS messages from the lender following up on payment. If you fail to make any repayments, you may incur late fees, penalties and added interest for the days that the loan remains open and it could negatively impact your credit score. Always get in touch with the lender as soon as you think you cannot make repayments because they can often give you arrangements or remove late fees which can help a lot.
