Currently, loans are not offered in MA and NV. Our mailing address is Happy Money (Payoff), 21515 Hawthorne Blvd, Suite 200, Torrance, CA 90503.

†† Based on a study of Payoff Members between August 2020 and February 2021. Payoff Members, who paid off at least $5,000 in credit card balances, saw an average increase in their credit score of 40 points within four months of receiving a Payoff Loan. Results may vary and are not guaranteed.


† An origination fee is charged by the lender who funds and issues your loan through our platform. Lenders do not charge any late, bounced check, failed ACH, or other fees. The origination fee is based on your loan amount, term, and credit quality. This one-time fee is deducted from your loan proceeds when your loan is issued.


** Your repayment terms will depend on your interest rate, origination fee, loan amount, and loan term. Example — A loan of $16,000 at 13.64% APR will have a $480 origination fee and a monthly payment of $421 for 48 months.


* Checking your rate generates a soft credit inquiry that is only visible to you. A hard credit inquiry that can affect your credit score appears when your loan is issued.
