Frequently asked questions

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

How much can I borrow with a payday loan in Newport Beach?

Your personal check cannot exceed $300. At the maximum fee you receive $255.

How fast can I get a payday loan in Newport Beach?

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.

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. Newport Beach residents can request a payday advance online through our network 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 Newport Beach? 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. Newport Beach residents can see their options with our 3-minute form.

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. Newport Beach 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.

Do I need to visit a store in Newport Beach?

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.
