Frequently asked questions
Can I get a payday loan in Fort Lauderdale, FL?
Payday loans (called deferred presentment transactions) are legal in Florida from lenders licensed by the Office of Financial Regulation, under Part IV of Chapter 560, Florida Statutes. You can request one online from Fort Lauderdale through our network; approval and terms are set by the lender.
How much can I borrow with a payday loan in Fort Lauderdale?
$500 per single-payment loan (not counting fees). For an installment payday loan, neither the check amount nor the outstanding balance may exceed $1,000.
How fast can I get a payday loan in Fort Lauderdale?
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 lenders in Fort Lauderdale check your credit?
Most payday lenders check something, but it often isn't a traditional credit report. Many focus on income and banking history and may use alternative credit data or a soft check instead of a hard pull from the major bureaus. Each lender sets its own process and will tell you what it reviews. Submitting our form is free, and you can see if you 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. Ready to compare offers in Fort Lauderdale? Our form takes 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.
What is a payday loan in Fort Lauderdale?
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 Fort Lauderdale 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 Florida rules. See if you qualify 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. Fort Lauderdale residents can see their options with our 3-minute form.
Do I need to visit a store in Fort Lauderdale?
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.
