How many times have you found yourself short of cash near the end of the month? When, the salary day seems far away. You have to scrounge hard to complete the month with your bank account teetering on a triple-digit balance.
At this critical juncture of the month, what if you had a sudden need for a bit of money? What if you could borrow just a little amount that you can repay in a few days? Short term loans can be a good solution to help overcome temporary cash flow or expenditure issues.
These instant loans can make your life much easier without having to run around banks as they are disbursed online with minimum documentation. Short term loans are essentially personal loans made available 'instantly' and for a short tenure. They are mostly approved and disbursed either in a matter of a few hours or within a day or two.
Here is a list of four popular, leading fintech players to consider for hassle-free borrowing:
EarlySalary

Users can avail these loans in the form of salary advances or credit card cash withdrawals. The mobile app is available on both the Google Play Store and App Store. Besides, users can also use the loan limit to shop online on credit.
