Editorial policy

How we write and check the guides on Extra Money.

How the guides are made

Extra Money has a few short guides about installment loans and applying online. We write them from public sources and from the typical terms offered by lenders in our network, and each one is reviewed before it goes up.

Each guide shows when it was last reviewed, next to the date it was first published.

Figures are examples

Amounts, rates and payments in the guides are examples to show how the numbers work. The contract your lender gives you before you sign has your actual terms, and they may not match ours.

What the guides are not

Extra Money is not a lender, and the guides aren’t legal or financial advice. If you need advice about your own situation, a qualified professional, such as a non-profit credit counsellor, can help.
