Frequently asked questions
Can I get a payday loan in Urbandale, IA?
Payday loans (delayed deposit services) are legal in Iowa from businesses licensed by the Division of Banking under the Delayed Deposit Services Licensing Act, Iowa Code chapter 533D. You can request one online from Urbandale through our network; approval and terms are set by the lender.
How much can I borrow with a payday loan in Urbandale?
A lender may not hold checks from you totaling more than $500 at any one time.
How fast can I get a payday loan in Urbandale?
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.
Do payday lenders in Urbandale check your credit?
Most payday lenders check something, but it often isn't a traditional credit report. Many focus on income and banking history and may use alternative credit data or a soft check instead of a hard pull from the major bureaus. Each lender sets its own process and will tell you what it reviews. Submitting our form is free, and you can see if you qualify in about 3 minutes.
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. Urbandale residents can see if they qualify in about 3 minutes.
What is a payday loan in Urbandale?
A payday loan is a small, short-term loan, usually a few hundred dollars, that you repay in one payment on or around your next payday. Borrowers in Urbandale can request one online from home instead of visiting a storefront. Through our free form you can be matched with lenders in our network, with amounts depending on the lender and Iowa rules. See if you qualify 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. Urbandale residents can see their options with our 3-minute form.
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 Iowa rules, lenders may offer payday or installment options. Compare them in about 3 minutes.
Do I need to visit a store in Urbandale?
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.
