Frequently asked questions
Can I get a payday loan in St. Augustine, 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 St. Augustine through our network; approval and terms are set by the lender.
How much can I borrow with a payday loan in St. Augustine?
$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 St. Augustine?
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. St. Augustine residents can request a payday advance online through our network 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 Florida rules, lenders may offer payday or installment options. Compare them 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. St. Augustine residents can see their options with our 3-minute form.
How much does a payday loan cost in St. Augustine?
Single-payment loan: fees may not exceed 10% of the amount provided, plus a verification fee (OFR states this as $5.00). Your lender shows the exact fee, total amount to repay, due date and APR before you sign, so you know the full cost upfront. There's no charge to use our form, and you're never obligated to accept an offer. Compare what lenders offer St. Augustine borrowers in about 3 minutes.
Do I need to visit a store in St. Augustine?
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.
