Frequently asked questions

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

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

$500 per loan.

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

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 Oxford?

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.

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. Oxford residents can request a payday advance online through our network in about 3 minutes.

How do I get a payday loan in Oxford, AL?

Have a few basics ready: a government-issued ID, proof of regular income, an active checking account, and a working phone number and email. Then complete our secure online form. Lenders review your request, and many give a decision within minutes. If you're approved, you'll see the full terms before signing. Most Oxford borrowers can finish the form in about 3 minutes.

How much does a payday loan cost in Oxford?

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 Oxford borrowers in 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. Oxford residents can see their options with our 3-minute form.

Do I need to visit a store in Oxford?

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.
