Important notice. Please read these terms carefully before using our services. By using our website or requesting a loan match, you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using the Great Plains Lending website, mobile application, or services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("Borrower," "you," or "your") and Great Plains Lending ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"). Great Plains Lending is a marketing and loan-matching service; we are not a lender and do not make credit decisions or fund loans.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use our services or access our website. Your continued use of our services after any modifications to these Terms constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

2. Definitions

For the purposes of these Terms, the following definitions apply:

  • "Loan" means any financial advance provided to a qualified borrower by a lender in our network.
  • "APR" means Annual Percentage Rate, the yearly cost of the loan expressed as a percentage.
  • "Principal" means the original loan amount borrowed.
  • "Finance Charge" means the total cost of credit, including interest and fees.
  • "Due Date" means the date on which loan payment is due.
  • "Default" means failure to make required payments when due.
  • "Services" means the loan-matching and related services offered by Great Plains Lending.

We reserve the right to verify your eligibility and may request additional documentation to confirm your identity and financial status.

4. Loan Terms & Conditions

Loan Amounts

Loan amounts typically range from $100 to $5,000, subject to state regulations and your creditworthiness. The specific loan amount you qualify for is determined by the lender that matches with your request, based on your information and the lender's underwriting criteria.

Interest Rates and APR

Interest rates and APRs vary based on loan type, amount, term, and your creditworthiness. All rates and fees will be clearly disclosed by the lender in your loan agreement before you accept the loan.

Loan Terms

Loan terms vary by product type:

  • Payday Loans: Typically 14-31 days
  • Installment Loans: 3-36 months
  • Personal Loans: 12-60 months

5. Application Process

Our process is designed to be simple and secure:

  1. Complete the online form with accurate information
  2. Provide required documentation and verification
  3. Review and accept loan terms from a matched lender if approved
  4. Receive funds via direct deposit or other approved method

Matching and approval are subject to verification of the information provided and meeting lender criteria. We reserve the right to decline any request at our discretion, and lenders reserve the right to decline any application.

6. Fees & Charges

Various fees may apply to your loan, including but not limited to:

  • Origination fees
  • Late payment fees
  • Returned payment fees (NSF)
  • Prepayment penalties (if applicable)
  • Collection fees

All applicable fees will be clearly disclosed in your loan agreement by the lender. Great Plains Lending does not charge you a fee to use its loan-matching service, and all loan costs are transparently communicated before loan acceptance.

7. Repayment Terms

Payment Schedule

Payments are due according to the schedule outlined in your loan agreement with the lender. Payment frequency may be weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly depending on your loan type.

Payment Methods

Payments can typically be made through:

  • Automatic bank withdrawal (ACH)
  • Online payment portal
  • Phone payments
  • Money order or cashier's check

Early Repayment

You may prepay your loan at any time without penalty (unless otherwise specified in your loan agreement). Early repayment may reduce the total interest paid over the life of the loan.

8. Default & Collections

Default occurs when you fail to make required payments when due. In the event of default:

  • Late fees and collection costs may be added to your balance
  • Your account may be reported to credit bureaus
  • The lender may pursue collection activities, including legal action
  • Your loan may be sold to a third-party collection agency

If you experience financial difficulties, please contact your lender immediately to discuss possible payment arrangements or alternatives.
