Thank you for sharing your experience with us, Sherri! It’s great to hear the positive feedback. You are correct that this is an expensive form of borrowing. River Valley Loans are designed to meet short-term borrowing needs and are not intended to be a long-term financial solution. There is no fee for paying the loan off early and many of our customers save a significant amount in fees when they pay the loan off early. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us any time at feedback@rivervalleyloans.com or at (833) 987-4837.

Moving my payment date

I had a question about moving my payment three days. He was fantastic. He took care of the whole thing within five minutes. And he also told me what my total loan was for, and what my total payment would be if I never made an extra payment. I felt like that was truthful and helpful information.

I received my loan quickly

I received my loan quickly, funding early the next morning within. 12 hours of my late afternoon phone call and I was able to resolve my emergency situation .

The customer representative was understanding and transparent about what my repayment schedule would look like . I like having the option to pay off my loan early / or pay a big chunk of my loan off early to avoid incurring high interest fees .

One thing I would improve is that if I’m
Paying the amount borrowed on my my weekly due date I shouldn’t incur an interest fee. I should just pay the principal balance since I’m paying off the balance in full. That’s it x
