Frequently asked questions
Can I get a payday loan in Richmond, 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 Richmond through our network; approval and terms are set by the lender.
How much can I borrow with a payday loan in Richmond?
$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 Richmond?
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. Richmond residents can see if they qualify in about 3 minutes.
How do payday loans work in Richmond?
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. Richmond residents can start the process online 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 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.
Where can I get a payday loan in Richmond?
You can visit a storefront in Richmond 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 I need to visit a store in Richmond?
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.
