What to check before borrowing in Michigan

Before you sign for a loan, compare the APR and all associated fees, the total repayment amount, and the length of the loan term. Confirm licensing and authorization for each lender with the state regulator and review customer feedback and complaint histories on the directory. Ask the lender for a complete written quote and verify current terms directly with the licensed lender and the state regulator, since offers and rules can change.

Eligibility, responsible borrowing, and alternatives

Basic eligibility usually includes proof of identity, income, and residency, but requirements vary by lender. Borrow only what you can repay under the loan’s schedule and consider how payments fit your monthly budget. If a loan is unaffordable or high-cost, explore lower-cost options such as credit unions, secured loans, payment plans with service providers, or nonprofit credit counseling. Zebra Finance is an informational resource to help you compare licensed lenders; always confirm details with the lender and the Michigan regulator before committing.
