Frequently asked questions

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

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

$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 Melbourne?

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 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 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 Melbourne? Our form takes about 3 minutes.

How do payday loans work in Melbourne?

You fill out a short online request, a lender reviews your income and banking details, and if you're approved you see the amount, fee and due date before you sign. Funds are typically deposited into your checking account, often by the next business day. On your due date, repayment is usually taken from that same account. Melbourne residents can start the process online in about 3 minutes.

Where can I get a payday loan in Melbourne?

You can visit a storefront in Melbourne or request a loan online without leaving home. Our free form sends one request to multiple lenders in our network, so you don't have to apply store by store. If a lender makes you an offer, you review the terms and decide whether to accept, with no obligation. It takes about 3 minutes to see if you qualify.

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. Melbourne residents can see their options with our 3-minute form.

Do I need to visit a store in Melbourne?

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.
