Frequently asked questions
Can I get a payday loan in Lewiston, ID?
Payday loans are legal in Idaho from lenders licensed by the Department of Finance under the Idaho Credit Code. You can request one online from Lewiston through our network; approval and terms are set by the lender.
How much can I borrow with a payday loan in Lewiston?
$1,000 per loan, and no more than $1,000 in total outstanding with one lender (plus fees). A loan also may not be more than 25% of your gross monthly income when it is made.
How fast can I get a payday loan in Lewiston?
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. Lewiston residents can see if they qualify in about 3 minutes.
How much does a payday loan cost in Lewiston?
No dollar or percentage cap. 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 Lewiston borrowers 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.
How do payday loans work in Lewiston?
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.
