When a lot of billscometloodingin,or you're away from home for longer than you expected, it’s not always easy to make a loan payment by a six'cific date. So you end up having to pay a penalty. Tliat's why First Citizens Bank PayAnyDay loans have become so popular with so many people in North Carolina. PayAnyDay means just that. You can pay any day of the month. I n fact, by making a payment on the first day of one month, and the last day of the next, it's possible to go 60 days between payments - without penalty. And since PayAnyDay is a simple interest loan, our policy of honesty and fairness begins up front. You sign for only the exact amount of money you borrow. What’s more, we don’t add interest in advance. Wlien you need money, consider a PayAnyDay loan from First Citizens. Well finance serious things like home improvements. Or fun things like a car-or even a boat. And with PayAnyDay, we promise you smooth sailing. MoveToGreenerl^tures. FIRST CITIZENS BANK Mant\Tfni('(5f
