Our hearts and our thoughts go out to everyone on this planet that we call home.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the day we are all human, and sooner or later we must all face challenging times. Preparing you, our customer, for future financial success is always our #1 priority. To ensure that our cardholders achieve that success even in these challenging financial situations, we are waiving required monthly payments for the next two months. We hope this will lessen the impact of the stresses we all face globally and hope it keeps you on track to financial success.<\/p>\n<p>The spirit and well-being of our team is what keeps Tomo\u2019s dedication to your success alive.

Giving underserved customers a way to gain the financial freedom they deserve is especially important in times like these, which serve only to motivate our team to work harder in the face of challenge. Team Tomo is still on schedule and working diligently, rolling out new features and processing applications.
