We talk a lot about “No fees”, but what does that mean?
Even with the same interest rate, a $30,000 loan over 5 years with NOW Finance typically costs $1,000 to $2,000 less than with other lenders — because no fees really do matter.

Monthly fees are usually charged as you go

With some lenders, $15/month becomes $900 over 5 years.

At NOW Finance, you pay $0.

Upfront fees increase your total loan cost

Other lenders charge a $250 setup fee, which can end up costing you around $450 once interest is added.

NOW Finance = $0 upfront.

Most borrowers miss 1–3 payments over the loan term

3 missed repayments can still cost you $45 in fees with some lenders.

NOW Finance skips the fees.
