Frequently asked questions
Can I get a payday loan in Glendale, CA?
Payday loans are legal in California under the California Deferred Deposit Transaction Law (CDDTL), from lenders licensed by the DFPI. You can request one online from Glendale through our network; approval and terms are set by the lender.
How much can I borrow with a payday loan in Glendale?
Your personal check cannot exceed $300. At the maximum fee you receive $255.
How fast can I get a payday loan in Glendale?
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 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. Glendale residents can see if they qualify in about 3 minutes.
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 California rules, lenders may offer payday or installment options. Compare them in about 3 minutes.
How do I get a payday loan in Glendale, CA?
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 Glendale borrowers can finish the form 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 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. Glendale residents can see their options with our 3-minute form.
Do I need to visit a store in Glendale?
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.
