Start with the product, not the payment frequency
MCA / revenue purchase
Locate the purchased amount, revenue percentage, and adjustment or reconciliation provisions in the agreement.
Term loan
Identify the lender, payment schedule, finance charges, security, and any modification or early-payoff provisions.
Line of credit
List each outstanding draw and its payments. Separate the credit limit from the amount already borrowed.
Daily or weekly withdrawals alone do not establish which product you have. The profiles below link directly to the published product descriptions behind these distinctions.

Credibly
Credibly describes its MCA as a purchase of future receivables with daily or weekly ACH remittances. Its published reconciliation process matters: a sales decline does not necessarily change the scheduled debit automatically.

OnDeck
OnDeck publishes business term loans and lines of credit. Frequent payments do not make a product an MCA: an OnDeck account should be reviewed using its loan agreement, payment schedule, and identified lender.

We have not audited customer files or established provider-specific settlement rates. A company website does not replace your signed agreement.
