What is a payday loan in Brentwood?

A payday loan is a small, short-term loan, usually a few hundred dollars, that you repay in one payment on or around your next payday. Borrowers in Brentwood can request one online from home instead of visiting a storefront. Through our free form you can be matched with lenders in our network, with amounts depending on the lender and California rules. See if you qualify in about 3 minutes.

Is a payday loan secured or unsecured?

A payday loan is an unsecured loan. You don't put up a car, home or other property as collateral. Instead, lenders base their decision mainly on your income and checking account, and repayment is usually scheduled from that account on your due date. That keeps the process quick, since there's nothing to appraise. Brentwood residents can see if they 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.
