Rent A Center is a very broad rent to own and payday loan service whose goal is to connect those with less than stellar credit with some nice furniture, appliances or in some cases a payday loan. This saves a lot of time and effort for people needing payday loans because many people are familiar with Rent A Center and trust them.
What They Offer
This company is rather unique due to the sheer amount of services they provide. You can pay bills here electronically, get a cash advance or simply browse their item selection. This is nice if there is a long line because you may find something you could really use such as a new deep freezer or television.
Where They Are Located
Rent A Center is a very popular business with locations all over the US. You can find them in most states and they have lots of advertisements on tv and paper media. In Alaska they have offices in Wasila and Anchorage. Once you’re in their system, you can use their services easily no matter where you live or if you leave Alaska.
Rates/Terms
With local companies such as this, you can be assured they all comply fully with Alaska state laws. The maximum amount you can borrow in Alaska is $500 and the maximum interest is $15 for every $100 borrowed. If you end up using a physical company in your area, these often offer some kind of free “membership” and you can occasionally get fees waived or get some sort of incentive to keep going back to them so it’s worth looking into. Rent A Center may provide signature loans in Alaska like they do in many of their other stores but you’ll have to contact them to see if that’s an option there.
Additional Info
A unique and handy feature of Rent A Center is the inclusion of user-friendly areas such as the “Payday Glossary.” This area of the site features definitions for many common terms that you’ve probably heard before but may not know the exact definition of. “Rollover” is a common term that makes a lot more sense once you read it over, for example.
