A pre-application checklist for Chefornak

Complete these steps first when you borrow in Chefornak (490 residents):

1. Check all three credit reports for mistakes, because an error you fix now is a lower rate later.

4. Verify the lender's Alaska licence with the regulator listed on this page.
5. Keep the amount to the expense; an approval is not a reason to take more.
6. Write down the purpose of the loan and your repayment plan before you apply.
