FAQ
What Is a Payday Loan?
A payday loan is a short term loan that provides quick and easy money to someone facing a financial emergency. Sometimes unexpected expenses arise as a result of a financial emergency and there is not enough liquid cash to meet financial obligations such as car payments, rent or utility bills. Failure to meet required payments may lead to a damaged credit report, eviction or car repossession. While a payday loan can be a solution to many of life’s financial challenges, caution must be exercised prior to making the decision to commit to such a short term loan. Sometimes alternatives such as credit cards are a cheaper solution to unexpected expenses.
What are the Benefits of a Payday Loan?
A payday loan can provide fast and easy money that is needed to meet unexpected expenses or regular payments towards financial obligations. The primary benefit of a payday loan is the ease and speed in which funds can be secured in the case of a financial emergency. When faced with the possibility of overdraft fees, late penalties and other expenses associated with missed or late bill payment, it is often more cost efficient to use a payday loan than incur other expenses. Overdraft fees and interest on long term credit card payments can be extremely costly. By using a payday loan, the costs of obtaining cash in a hurry are greatly reduced and consumer credit is protected.

Because payday lending laws vary from state to state, the actual term of your payday loan will depend upon where you secure the loan. Typically, payday loan terms are eight days to twenty-five days, depending on the borrowers next scheduled paycheck.
How Many Times May I Borrow Money With a Payday Loan?
Each state has different regulations governing how many times an individual can borrow money by means of a short term loan. Some states limit the number of times a single person takes out a payday loan to four per year. Other states do not impose limitations or restrictions on how often or how many times a person may apply for and receive cash through a payday loan. It is important for consumers to exercise caution when using payday loans as a mean to meet financial expenses as excessive borrowing can lead to continued debt.
How Do I Pay Back My Loan?
Some customers opt to pay the loan amount and all fees associated with the payday loan in full at the conclusion of the contractual term of the loan. The payday lender may offer the opportunity to renew the loan once all financing fees are paid.
Why Does the Online Application Require My Personal Information?
We use your social security number and driver’s license number to confirm your identity and protect you from identity fraud. Because identity theft is often used to obtain short term loans, we take measures to confirm the identity of our borrowers before we lend money. We require bank account information so that we can quickly and easily transfer your money so that you may have secure access to it.
