Breaking free from the payday loan cycle
The challenge
Struggling with finances and supporting three young kids, Dana found herself trapped in a relentless cycle of payday loans. With $230 going towards loan repayments every paycheque, the financial strain was overwhelming.
Usually, I go to payday loan companies to help out with groceries that day. Then I think, might as well go big and take out what I can so that I have enough for the next little while. I was overborrowing and paying interest.
The FastForward solution
Unlike payday loans, where Dana felt compelled to borrow more than needed and was racking up interest, FastForward offered a low-fee, immediate solution for her exact needs. FastForward also provided Dana with a more sustainable approach to managing money. She has experienced a significant shift in her financial management and feels encouraged to become more budget-conscious, mindful of her spending, and strategic in borrowing only what she needs.
FastForward is extremely helpful – no interest, right away you can get money. It's helping me be more mindful about how my paycheques are being spent. I'm becoming more mindful and more budget-savvy.
