JFLA

The JFLA app offers a streamlined pre-application process that shortens the time between applying and funding for short term loans to residents of Los Angeles, Ventura, or Santa Barbara County. This tightened turnaround time is critical for borrowers facing a challenging time like a medical emergency or housing eviction, or need assistance with small business loans, infertility or other needs. The app also makes it easier for applicants to upload documents and track the progress of their loan.
