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