Payday loans in Somerset, 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 Somerset through our network; approval and terms are set by the lender.

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.

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

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.

You can visit a storefront in Somerset 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.

The fee may not be more than $15 per $100 of the check's face amount, prorated. Your lender shows the exact fee, total amount to repay, due date and APR before you sign, so you know the full cost upfront. There's no charge to use our form, and you're never obligated to accept an offer. Compare what lenders offer Somerset borrowers in about 3 minutes.

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. Somerset residents can see their options with our 3-minute form.

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.

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.
