Frequently asked questions
Can I get a payday loan in Paducah, 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 Paducah through our network; approval and terms are set by the lender.
How much can I borrow with a payday loan in Paducah?
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 Paducah?
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 Paducah?
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 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. Paducah residents can see their options with our 3-minute form.
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.
