Frequently asked questions

Can I get a payday loan in Daphne, AL?

Payday loans ("deferred presentment") are legal in Alabama from lenders licensed by the State Banking Department under the Deferred Presentment Services Act, Ala. You can request one online from Daphne through our network; approval and terms are set by the lender.

How much can I borrow with a payday loan in Daphne?

$500 per loan.

How much does a $300 payday loan cost in Daphne?

At Alabama's cap of $17.5 per $100, the fee on $300 is $52, so you would repay $352 on your due date.

How fast can I get a payday loan in Daphne?

The form takes about three minutes and many lenders decide within minutes. If you're approved and sign before the lender's cutoff, funds are often deposited the next business day.

Is a payday loan installment or revolving credit?

A traditional payday loan is neither. It's a single-payment loan: you borrow a set amount and repay it, plus the fee, in one payment on your due date. An installment loan spreads repayment over several scheduled payments, and revolving credit, like a credit card, lets you borrow repeatedly up to a limit. Depending on Alabama rules, lenders may offer payday or installment options. Compare them in about 3 minutes.

Is a payday loan the same as a cash advance?

The terms are often used interchangeably. A payday loan is sometimes called a cash advance because it advances money against your next paycheck. A credit card cash advance is different: you withdraw cash against your card's credit limit, which requires available credit on a card. If you don't have card credit to tap, a payday loan through our network is a fast option. Check your options in about 3 minutes.

Do payday lenders in Daphne check your credit?

Most payday lenders check something, but it often isn't a traditional credit report. Many focus on income and banking history and may use alternative credit data or a soft check instead of a hard pull from the major bureaus. Each lender sets its own process and will tell you what it reviews. Submitting our form is free, and you can see if you qualify in about 3 minutes.

Do payday loans show up on your credit report?

Many payday lenders do not report regular, on-time payments to the three major credit bureaus, so the loan often doesn't appear on a standard credit report. Some lenders and specialty bureaus do track short-term loans, and an unpaid balance sent to collections can be reported. Your lender explains its reporting policy in the loan agreement. Ready to compare offers in Daphne? Our form takes about 3 minutes.

Do payday loans affect your credit score?

Usually only a little, if at all. Because many payday lenders don't use a traditional hard credit pull and often don't report to the major bureaus, a payday loan repaid on time typically has little effect on your score. A balance that goes unpaid and reaches collections could hurt it, so borrow an amount you can repay on your due date. Daphne residents can see their options with our 3-minute form.

Do I need to visit a store in Daphne?

No. You can request offers online from a phone or computer. Some lenders, especially title lenders, may ask you to visit a location or send photos of your vehicle.
