Frequently asked questions

Can I get a payday loan in Mishawaka, IN?

Payday loans, called small loans, are legal in Indiana from DFI-licensed lenders under the Uniform Consumer Credit Code, IC 24-4.5-7. You can request one online from Mishawaka through our network; approval and terms are set by the lender.

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

$825 total outstanding with one lender (single or combined loans), and no single loan over 20% of your gross monthly income.

How fast can I get a payday loan in Mishawaka?

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 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 Indiana 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 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.
