Frequently asked questions

Payday loans (called deferred deposit transactions) are legal in Kentucky from lenders licensed by the Department of Financial Institutions under KRS Chapter 286, Subtitle 9. You can request one online from Alexandria through our network; approval and terms are set by the lender.

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

You may have at most two payday loans open at once, and the total cash you receive from all open payday loans may not exceed $600. The DFI commissioner adjusts this amount each July 1 for inflation (CPI-U, rounded up to the nearest $10), but it can never go above $850.

How much does a $300 payday loan cost in Alexandria?

At Kentucky's cap of $15 per $100, the fee on $300 is $45, so you would repay $345 on your due date.

How fast can I get a payday loan in Alexandria?

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. Alexandria residents can see if they qualify in about 3 minutes.

What is a payday loan in Alexandria?

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 Alexandria 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 Kentucky rules. See if you qualify in about 3 minutes.

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. Alexandria residents can request a payday advance online through our network 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. Alexandria residents can see their options with our 3-minute form.

Do payday lenders in Alexandria 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.

Do I need to visit a store in Alexandria?

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.
