Rather than multiple payments scheduled over a period of time, payday loans are typically repaid with one payment due when the borrower receives his or her next paycheck. Payment is made in the form of a post-dated check or automatically withdrawn from the borrower’s bank account. Payday loans are very short-term, usually 30 days or less. Short-term installment loans are usually repaid over a matter of weeks or months.
The approval amount depends on a variety of factors including loan history and monthly income. First time borrowers can qualify for $100-$600. Repeat borrowers can qualify for up to $1500. See the Loan Terms page for more info.
