Frequently asked questions

Can I get a payday loan in Northport, 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 Northport through our network; approval and terms are set by the lender.

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

$500 per loan.

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

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 Northport?

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.

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. Northport residents can see their options with our 3-minute form.

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 Northport? Our form takes about 3 minutes.

What is a payday advance loan?

A payday advance loan is another name for a payday loan: a short-term advance on your next paycheck. You borrow a small amount and repay it, plus a fee, when you're next paid. The process is quick because lenders look mainly at your income and checking account. Northport residents can request a payday advance online through our network in about 3 minutes.

How much does a payday loan cost in Northport?

The fee may not exceed 17.5% of the amount advanced ($17.50 per $100). Your lender shows the exact fee, total amount to repay, due date and APR before you sign, so you know the full cost upfront. There's no charge to use our form, and you're never obligated to accept an offer. Compare what lenders offer Northport borrowers 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 I need to visit a store in Northport?

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.
